About Cook County Extension

The Global Challenge

Cook County is one of the most diversified major economies in the U.S. and a leader in global connectivity. But over the next 25 years, Chicago and Cook County will face challenges to the region's place in the global economy. Who will provide the people of Cook County useful information and the necessary skills to remain competitive in this economy?

A Local Answer

From career development and new technology seminars to family safety and nutrition workshops, Extension in Cook County serves more than 500,000 people each year.

Our mission is to bring research-based unbiased information to the people of the county. Our programs are designed by highly specialized and educated staff, and seek not only to inform, but to encourage people to take action and take control of their lives and communities.

As Chicagoland strives to remain competitive in this challenging environment, Extension will help put knowledge to work for you.
