Extension educators work to improve access to and the quality of active living opportunities for their residents. From training people to lead local fitness classes to helping leaders identify ways to encourage walking, biking or utilizing park facilities, we encourage physical activity as a way to improve the health of residents, as well as their community.
We work with partners to support a variety of initiatives from active play in early care to providing safe routes to school. We work with schools to support comprehensive physical activity programming and policies.
