Key Points
- The Tribal Colleges Extension grant program allows the 1994 Land-Grants to create extension offices for their reservation communities.
- Each extension office works with reservation communities to build programs that target local needs. The result is a diversified and targeted outreach.
- The 1994 Land-Grants also provide culture-centered family activities to restore Native languages, traditions, and agriculture.
- Within this grant program are two types of funds:
- Capacity Grants fund an entire Extension office, which can have many mission areas and clients.
- Special Emphasis are targeted, short-term pilot projects that allow Extension educators to explore new ways to better serve their community.
