Dickinson County Extension & Outreach

Welcome to Dickinson County Extension & Outreach, where our dedicated team is committed to providing comprehensive educational programming in Spirit Lake, IA, and surrounding areas. Through four core program areas—Agriculture and Natural Resources, Human Sciences, 4-H Youth Development, and Community Economic Development—we offer research-based learning opportunities tailored to the diverse needs of Iowans.
