Monthly lessons are provided to organizations or the general public.

If your organization is looking for a monthly program, then Extension's Lesson for Living may be the choice for your group. Taught by U of I Extension Educators or local professionals, the Lesson for Living program can provide your members with current information on a selected topic.

How does Lessons for Living Work?

Organizations send a representative to attend the Lesson for Living program. The organization representative is given materials provided by the speaker. The representative should contact the Extension office prior to the program requesting the number of handouts needed for their group.

Location: All Lesson for Living programs are held at the Sangamon-Menard Extension office located on the State Fairgrounds in Springfield.
