About Us

Mission

As part of the Division of Extension and Engagement, the OSU Extension Service works with communities throughout Oregon to support lifelong learning and co-create innovative solutions to address local challenges.

Values

• Community-centered: We listen first and act in partnership.
• Collaboration: We work across boundaries to multiply impact.
• Integrity: We build trust through transparency, consistency and accountability.
• Reliability: We show up and follow through.

We’re partnering with people in every county and helping them thrive every day — just as we have done for more than 100 years — with a focus on:

• Healthy communities and economies
• Resilient and productive forests and natural ecosystems
• Sustainable agriculture, food systems, and gardening
• Thriving youth, individuals and families
