What is
"Community-Based Education?"
We call Cultivating
Success™ a "community-based education program," but what does that mean?
- It means we develop
our program based on the needs of farmers, ranchers, students and
educators in our region.
- It means that we
utilize community resources as powerful education tools. For example,
local producers are in turn guest speakers, farm tour hosts, and mentors
for on-farm apprentices.
It means that we have
an extensive network of educators, university faculty, like-minded
nonprofit groups and community support to help us create the most
effective courses and programs for those who have expressed a need for
our services.
