Tribal Colleges Extension Program: Special Emphasis (TCEP-SE)

Overview

The Tribal Colleges Extension Program-Special Emphasis (TCEP-SE) provides informal, community-focused Extension pilot projects at 1994 Land-grant Tribal Colleges and Universities. Pilot projects may focus on community needs that address emerging issues such as 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. 

The TCEP-SE 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 through short-term pilot projects and/or workshops designed to support the Tribal Colleges Extension Program-Capacity Applications (TCEP-CA) project.
