Giving Opportunities

Public Service and Outreach (PSO) is central to the University of Georgia’s land- and sea-grant mission. For over 80 years, PSO has spearheaded the University’s efforts to use its resources to improve the quality of life in Georgia. Today, whether extending life-long learning through adult education, revitalizing a city’s downtown, or challenging elected officials to lead more effectively, PSO assists partners in Georgia and around the world in solving their most important public problems.

As the state’s land-grant university, UGA is in a unique position to keep Georgia vibrant through the contributions of its teaching, research, and service missions. In the 21st century, global influences will continually impact the state and will require UGA to renew its traditional outreach programming in order to help prepare Georgia for the complex knowledge economy. Now more than ever, the state needs a fresh commitment to UGA’s land-grant mission and increased responsiveness from its public service and outreach programs.

Public Service and Outreach (PSO) at UGA is the leader in bringing the university’s resources to each of Georgia’s 159 counties and 500+ cities and around the world, serving more than 110,000 individuals annually

Gifts matter

A donation from Rob and Jean Fowler and BB&T Bank to endow a UGA Extension 4-H agent made it possible for more young people in Jasper County to develop leadership and citizenship skills. It's the first such endowment in the country. Kasey Reid, who now fills the new position, will help teach character development and wellness along with research, presentation, and life skills.
