1. Provide formal and non-formal community-focused experiential learning.
2. Develop skills that benefit youth throughout life.
3. Foster leadership and volunteerism in youth and adults.
4. Build internal and external partnerships for programming and funding.
5. Strengthen families and communities.
6. Use research-based knowledge and the Land Grant University System.
7. Achievement of this mission will result in capable, competent, and caring citizens.
