Developing skills and expertise to program in Latino communities using satellite technology

Extension faculty and staff in Pennsylvania participated in a satellite training to increase their skills and confidence in programming in Latino communities. The conference was a combination of regional site activities and satellite programming. At local sites, participants experienced the culture through food, music, discussions with local Latino community members, and hands-on exploration of resources. During the satellite portion of the program, demographic issues, programming concerns, and information about the Latino culture were discussed. In addition, county Extension staff shared successful programs being conducted in Latino communities.
