our mission
Purdue Extension enriches Indiana communities through comprehensive programs in Agriculture and Natural Resources, promoting sustainable practices; Health and Human Sciences, enhancing well-being; Community Development, fostering economic growth; and 4-H and Youth Development, empowering the next generation. We deliver practical, research-based information that enhances lives and livelihoods.
Henry County 4-H consists of 18 volunteer-led local clubs, helping youth develop leadership skills while exploring interests ranging from home arts to high-tech innovations. 
Agriculture and Natural Resources offers expert consultation and lab services, supporting everyone from large-scale farms to small gardeners and those passionate about preserving our natural resources. 
Health & Human Sciences supports individuals and families with programs and resources focused on food, family, finances, and well-being. about US
Purdue University campus faculty work alongside Extension Educators and our communities to share trusted, evidence-based information that helps people grow, thrive, and succeed. Our work brings university knowledge to the local level—both in person and online—so individuals, families, farmers, and youth can make informed decisions every day.
Our Agriculture and Natural Resources programs support farming, gardening, land stewardship, and natural resource conservation, helping both rural and urban communities care for the land and strengthen local agriculture.
Through Health and Human Sciences, we offer practical education that supports healthy living, strong relationships, and financial well-being, helping individuals and families improve their quality of life.
Our 4-H Youth Development programs empower young people through hands-on learning in areas like science, technology, agriculture, leadership, and civic engagement—building skills that last a lifetime.
Together, we are committed to strengthening communities today while preparing future generations for success.
