Adair County Connections is online directory of county-specific resources, developed in partnership with the local branch of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Our mission is to make vital information about low-cost and low-income services more readily available and accessible to the local people and residing students.

• Designing, building, and developing a WordPress website from scratch
• Optimize user interface, appearance, and function of website
• Compiling and entering information from non-profits and organizations in the area to build an extensive database
• Reaching out and communicating with locals over social media (Facebook) to advertise and determine which resources are most needed or are most difficult to find
