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:
“Fortunately, the time has long passed when people liked to regard the United States as some kind of melting pot, taking men and women from every part of the world and converting them into standardized, homogenized Americans. We are, I think, much more mature and wise today. Just as we welcome a world of diversity, so we glory in an America of diversity—an America all the richer for the many different and distinctive strands of which it is woven.”
—Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
“There is a delicate balance of putting yourself last and not being a doormat and thinking of yourself first and not coming off as selfish, arrogant, or bossy. We spend the majority of our lives attempting to perfect this balance. When we are successful, we have many close, healthy relationships. When we are unsuccessful, we suffer the natural consequences of damaged and sometimes broken relationships. Children are just beginning their journey on this important life lesson.”
—Cindy L. Teachey. “Building Lifelong Relationships—School Age Programs at Work,” Child Care Exchange (January 1994)
