Cintia Aguilar and Roberto Rosales will provide best practices, tools, and resources to help your Extension program increase engagement with the Latinx community—whether you are in ag, food and nutrition, community and rural development, or 4-H, and whether you speak Spanish or not. The Latinx community makes up 4.2% of Kentucky’s population and will continue to grow. It is important to recognize that the Latinx community is not a monolith, and learning how to engage them in Extension programs will contribute to building integrated communities.
