Distinctive Programs
The Alabama Cooperative Extension System’s six outreach concentrations are: agriculture; forestry and natural resources; urban and new nontraditional programs; family and individual well-being; community and economic development; and 4-H and youth development. These six areas of emphasis contain 14 unique priority programs. While many of these priority programs are reflected in Extension efforts in other states, Alabama also has unique programs due to its history.

Famous quotes containing the words distinctive and/or programs:
“If the egotist is weak, his egotism is worthless. If the egotist is strong, acute, full of distinctive character, his egotism is precious, and remains a possession of the race.”
—Alexander Smith (1830–1867)
“Although good early childhood programs can benefit all children, they are not a quick fix for all of society’s ills—from crime in the streets to adolescent pregnancy, from school failure to unemployment. We must emphasize that good quality early childhood programs can help change the social and educational outcomes for many children, but they are not a panacea; they cannot ameliorate the effects of all harmful social and psychological environments.”
—Barbara Bowman (20th century)
