Cooperative Extension is one of the pillars of The University of Arizona's Division of Agriculture, Life & Veterinary Sciences, & Cooperative Extension (ALVSCE). We are about "Improving Lives, Communities, and the Economy" by serving as a statewide network of knowledgeable faculty and staff that provides lifelong educational programs for all Arizonans. We are part of a nationwide educational network of scientists and educators who help people solve problems and put knowledge to use. We represent a unique three-way partnership with the United States Department of Agriculture, The University of Arizona, and Yavapai County to provide local citizens access to the Land Grand University System.
