Community

What is CCE?

Rooted in every county of the state, Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) translates Cornell University’s world-class research into practical, real-world knowledge that helps New York state residents, businesses and communities thrive.

What does it do for the community?

CCE provides educational programming and services to the community. In Ulster County we focus on four initiatives: youth, environment, agriculture, and healthy communities. Each initiative has multiple programs. For example, our healthy communities initiative provides nutrition, parenting, health and community development programs.
