More than 400 campus-based specialists and county-based farm, home, and youth advisors work as teams to bring the University's research-based information to Californians. CE is a full partnership of federal, state, county, and private resources linked in applied research and educational outreach. CE tailors its programs to meet local needs. CE's many teaching tools include meetings, conferences, workshops, demonstrations, field days, video programs, newsletters and manuals.

Resuming In-Person Activity- Phase 2
Family Friendly Environment
In coordination with International Breastfeeding Week (Aug 1 – Aug 7), the UC Cooperative Extension in San Luis Obispo County launched a new Breastfeeding and Family Friendly Workplace Guidance. In compliance with UC policy, the department recognizes the importance of workplace support for staff who choose to breastfeed and the nutrition and wellness benefits of breastfeeding. This guidance designates breastfeeding/pumping spaces and provides guidance for supervisors to support breastfeeding employees. In addition, since many department employees staff work remotely at off-site locations, we have developed guidance and will make available, mobile lactation room supplies for breastfeeding employees to utilize as needed.
