Why should YOU invest in Cornell Cooperative Extension Steuben County?
We help farmers to improve production, business, marketing, labor and economic development practices. We worked 972 farmers by providing 58 consultations and educational sessions in the region in 2019.
“Cornell is a blessing. Farmers will ask for their help and they will help you.”
“CCE has helped keep me informed throughout the farming practices that we endure here every day.”
~Steuben County Farmers
We change lives through knowledge. We help people to put research-supported education to work to improve their lives and contribute to their communities around the areas of agriculture, finance, natural resources, nutrition and youth empowerment. We provided 1,169 workshops to 9,432 people in 2019.
“Thank you for the information you brought to our table. We are now eating healthier together as
a family at the table.”
…we multiply our efforts through the use of volunteers that support the community via master gardening, financial coaching and youth empowerment.260 volunteers provided over 2,000 hours of support to the community.
So many people think that managing their personal financial affairs is too difficult. But I love to show them how easy it really is. If you plan ahead, money will be there for an emergency. It's so rewarding when that happens.
We empower youth to make the best better through leadership, civic engagement, community service, and hands-on learning. We empowered 5,929 youth via 4-H clubs and education provided at afterschool programs.
“I can definitely say 4-H has been a highlight of my youth. I will never forget the clothing revues, the leadership retreats, the club meetings, the county and state fairs, the variety of project areas I dabbled in, or the people I shared my time in 4-H with. Through and beyond college, I plan to stay connected and give back, whether as a public presentations judge or a home economics and horticulture instructor; and I hope that my future will make my club and my county 4-H program proud.” ~4-H alumni.
