This grant supports community-based education at the federally recognized tribal colleges. Through this funding, the 1994 Land-grants touch the lives of reservation youth, farmers and families with activities that enhance health, promote prosperity and support learning.
Overview
The Tribal Colleges Extension Program: Capacity Applications (TCEP-CA) program gives Tribal communities opportunities for enhanced agricultural productivity, community resilience, economic growth, and youth development by extending the reach of innovations in research and technology and enhancing informal, local educational programs.
The TCEP-CA is designed to support Cooperative Extension offices that provide practical, science-based lifelong learning. Extension activities must be community driven and address local needs. Extension project topics of interest may include agricultural productivity, improving food systems, community vitality, workforce and economic development, environmental quality, public health and well-being, engaging Tribal youths, and preparing the next generation of Tribal agriculture leaders.
