For over 100 years, OSU Extension, in cooperation with county, state and federal governments, has fulfilled its mission to deliver science-based education to Baker County communities. Our commitment has strengthened through the years, during flu epidemics, economic downturns and world wars, and is still strong today. Now, children are distance learning, social connections are disrupted, and families and businesses are facing hard times.
In response, OSU Extension is quickly creating new ways to bring learning to meet the needs of Baker County and Oregon. We work to engage the curiosity of kids and adults, to support the well-being of people, communities, and local economies, and to give you the information you need to pull through the COVID-19 crisis. We are teachers. We are researchers. We are neighbors. We are here for you.
