The UAF Cooperative Extension Anchorage Outreach Center serves Anchorage, Alaska’s largest city, with nearly 40% of the state’s population. Anchorage schools are among the most diverse in the country. While 75% of school families speak English, the remaining 25% speak 100 different languages, such as Spanish, Hmong, Samoan and Filipino.

The district offers outreach programs in agriculture and horticulture; health, home and family development; integrated pest management; nutrition; and 4-H and youth development.
