6 Urban Extension Version 1.0 A vision of the future of U.S. Urban Extension programs as well as a suggested framework within which the vision can be realized. The Extension System urgently needs to build and expand programs for urban audiences
7 The 1996 Call to Action Develop effective partnerships with other educational, service, and business organizations Increase communication between urban Extension and urban communities Build capacity by creating greater linkages through networks of Extension professionals working in urban environments USDA and the Cooperative Extension System must continue to recognize and support the fact that Extension's mission includes urban and metropolitan audiences
8 The 1996 Call to Action Financial support for metropolitan work must increase through collaboration with Congress and other federal agencies. In addition, more funding sources should be identified in state, county, and city governments. or
9 What was missing besides the money? What is the structure/function? Who are the responsible parties? Where do you look for leadership?
10 The National Water Program Operated from Funded by USDA Section 406 of the Agricultural Research, Extension, and Education Reform Act of 1998 Committee for Shared Leadership Built on EPA s 10 Regions Promoted national collaboration Annual conferences
11 Goals for CSL Foster a national program through a regional network of NIFA research, education, and extension professionals Elevate the visibility of the USDA NIFA network Be responsive and proactive in decisions and actions that integrate research, education and extension activities Create, manage, and foster institutional change through visioning and leadership Practice effective communication and dialog to ensure cooperation and collaboration of integrated programs Pursue new opportunities in a coordinated fashion Market the value of internally and externally funded/leveraged activities Establish partnerships and work to meet common goals.
12 CSL Takeaways national program regional network visibility decisions and actions visioning and leadership communication opportunities value partnerships and work to meet common goals.

20 Possible Themes Improve our Health Protect the Environment Enrich the Youth Strengthen Communities Feed our Future
21 Now we have the missing pieces Structure Leadership/responsible parties Function
22 The Structure National Urban Extension Network Regional Centers State Urban Extension Programs
23 The Leadership/Responsible Parties National Steering Committee Regional Directors State Urban Extension Coordinators
24 The Function National Urban Extension Network Sets national agenda Collects national impacts Solicits funding for national network Provides national networking opportunities
25 The Function Regional Centers Develops regional focus areas Facilities collaboration among the state programs within the region Collects regional impacts Provides professional development opportunities
26 The Function State Urban Extension Programs Conducts needs assessment of local stakeholders to identify problems Assembles the best available science to address these problems Develops and delivers educational and outreach programs to provide solutions to stakeholders Works with local stakeholders to implement the necessary solutions Measures impacts and adapt programs to enhance impacts
