2021-2022 NC Urban Extension Peer-Learning eXchange** This opportunity is open to Extension personnel only **

The NC Urban Extension Peer-Learning eXchange (PLX) will provide urban agents, program assistants, and county-funded equivalents with a nine-month cohort learning experience to strengthen their relevance, value, and impact in urban communities. 

North Carolina is the ninth most populous state in the country with over 10.4 million residents. Since 2010, the state’s urban and suburban counties have grown in population while many rural counties have experienced population loss. Given these trends, N.C. Cooperative Extension must continue to demonstrate its relevance and value to urban audiences, just as it has provided, and will continue to provide, incredible value to our rural communities. The PLX will bring together urban extension staff from across the state to learn from and support each other as they take on a self-identified “Opportunity for Action” that will help strengthen their work in urban communities.
