About Us

University of Nebraska--Lincoln Extension in Custer County, located on the lower level of the Custer County Courthouse, delivers research-based education and information to citizens throughout the county. These educational programs, delivered via a variety of methods, are offered through a federal, state and county partnership arrangement. Our objective is to provide programs and other educational resources locally.

Our staff of Extension Educators and support personnel specializes in providing programs throughout the county. Together with staff from all of Nebraska's 93 counties, we contribute to more than 1.5 million educational contacts each year with Nebraska citizens. Our 4-H Youth Development Program, for example, reaches more than 950 youth in Custer County alone. Statewide, 4-H touches the lives of more than 90,000 youth each year.

UNL Extension is built to provide practical education that focuses on issues which influence daily life that helps to keep Nebraska competitive in a global society. Extension Specialists and Extension Educators are committed to a theme of excellence with educational programs customized to meet the needs of Nebraskans.
