Abstract
This article describes Cooperative Extension serving as a change agent in the community development process. Because of major changes in both demography and rural social dynamics, communities now need alternative ways and approaches of addressing community problems. In order for Extension to continue a good working relationship with communities, Extension must serve as a change agent to present new ideas and techniques to adequately address community problems and break down barriers. The article discusses community leadership, developing teams of leaders to bring about change and new ways to approach community problems.
