Extension Module Descriptions
Overview of the Extension reporting modules available in PEARS.
PEARS provides several modules for reporting Cooperative Extension activities. Extension modules share some overlap with SNAP-Ed modules but include additional tools for tracking professional development, quarterly efforts, and performance reviews.

Social Marketing Campaigns — Track coordinated marketing initiatives that promote behavioral change.
Indirect Activities — Report outreach activities delivered without face-to-face contact.
Partnerships — Document collaborative relationships with external organizations.
Coalitions — Track multi-organization groups committed to joint action.
Success Stories — Capture narratives illustrating the impact of Extension programming.
Extension-Specific Modules
