"An oasis to the neediest of the needy." The West Central Region 1890 Extension Programs are delivered through the Kansas City Impact Center, which is located in the 12th Street Heritage District. The programs target limited resource and minority audiences in the Kansas City Area by providing survival skills in the areas of workforce preparedness, youth-at-risk activities, assertiveness, money management and personal health. Clients enrolled in the program participate in a series of three-hour workshops culminating in a graduation and certificate exercise. The Vision Lincoln University Cooperative Extension plans to implement a project that focuses efforts on one community at a time to deliver essential programs. Then it branches out to other neighborhoods once revitalization has been completed. To have the desired impact it intends to have, this project will require partnerships between Lincoln University Cooperative Extension, and various community and governmental agencies and grass roots organizations.
