About Us

NU Extension in Dodge County delivers research-based education and information to citizens in the Dodge County area. These educational programs, delivered via a variety of methods, are offered through a federal, state and county partnership arrangement. Our objective is to provide programs and other educational resources locally.

Our staff of extension educator and extension specialists, technicians, and support personnel specializes in providing programs throughout the county, and together with staff from all of Nebraska's 93 counties, we contribute to more than 1.5 million educational contacts each year with Nebraska citizens. Our 4-H Youth Development Program, for example, reaches more than 1000 youth in Dodge County alone. Statewide, 4-H touches the lives of more than 90,000 youth each year.

Extension provides practical education that focuses on issues which influence daily life that helps to keep Nebraska competitive in a global society. Extension Specialists and Extension Educators are committed to excellence with educational programs customized to meet the needs of Nebraskans.
