Helping People Help Themselves
Cornell Cooperative Extension Dutchess County, a 501(c)3 organization associated with Cornell University and its land-grant mission since 1869, disseminates research-based resources, tools and education to the residents and officials of Dutchess County. Our four program areas are: Agriculture & Horticulture, Environment, Family & Consumer Sciences, and 4-H Youth Development.
Knowledge is central to Extension’s role of transferring useful information - but it’s more than “knowing that” - it’s really “knowing how” that is critical to promoting innovation and changing behaviors, sustaining the environment and communities, contributing to the economy, and improving lives.
Learn more about the unique Cornell Extension system, which links research-based knowledge to educational programs that help improve communities, and how to support CCEDC, a 501c3 organization, with your donation.
