Abstract

Cooperative Extension and the community colleges should join forces in solving community problems. "Each may be able to do something on its own, but neither has the staff, technology, nor educational programs to help communities with all their needs," the authors say. There are several benefits in cooperating. Extension could update its image, and community colleges could become involved in "education for action" programs. And, the alliance between the two institutions could strengthen public support for community educational programs.
