Welcome! This toolkit is designed to help you easily share content for the Cooperative Extension Service.

Whether you're posting on behalf of your county, program, or personal/work account, we've put together everything you need to communicate clearly, consistently, and effectively. Use the ready-made captions and graphics as-is or customize them to fit your local audience.

Thanks for helping us spread the word!

Step 2: Then, copy/paste the corresponding text into a social media post.

Step 3: Add the graphic and alt text and click "Publish"! Easy as that.

Optional: If you want to take your post one step further, you can customize it for your audience.
