| MSU Extension works with schools to offer classroom programs designed to complement the learning curricula and help youth develop life skills. Programs are delivered directly by staff as in the Riverside Water Quality Program that links Macomb County middle schools with classrooms in Nepal and indirectly by volunteers as in the Great Lakes Education Program. |  |
