Community Vitality & Health

• Deepen your understanding of how you show up and act in difficult situations, and skills for understanding how others do the same.
• Take your knowledge and understanding of conflict and translate it into new behaviors, actions, and habits for yourself and others.
• Learn about the basic components of conflict coaching, and how it can help you and others navigate conflict effectively.

Acting as facilitators, planners, and educators, UW Extension community development team members strengthen Wyoming towns and cities through programs such as:

• Extension Volunteer Organization for Leadership. Vitality, and Enterprise (EVOLVE): a community-based leadership development program
• Board training: addressing obligations and issues of serving on appointed and elected boards
• Family Resource Management: providing sound money management programs to Wyoming families
