We are sharing different ways in which EXCITE and other health and wellness projects can share their great efforts with both internal and external audiences! This will help foster best practices, create and build partnerships, and spread the work of Extension. We encourage teams to explore different platforms and audiences to share their projects and further the mission of Extension becoming a trusted partner in public health.


Internal Extension-focused opportunities:

• Consider writing a post for your own institution’s blog or in this the Health and Well-being Collective and Extension Foundation blog.
  
  
• For longer articles, consider the Journal of Extension, Journal of Human Sciences and Extension, and journals for particular Extension associations such as Journal of Family and Consumer Sciences.
  
  
• For longer articles, not necessarily research- or evaluation-heavy as some also accept programmatic-focused papers, consider the American Journal of Public Health (from APHA), Journal of Higher Education and Outreach, and Journal of Science Communication.
  
  
• States may also have fact sheets designed for both internal Extension and external community audiences. For examples, check out University of Florida, Oklahoma State University, Virginia Cooperative Extension, and Colorado State University. If you’re at an institution that does not have publications itself, consider partnering with others in the state - we truly are a system and often it may not be obvious that the publications are open to any Extension authors in the state.
