FCE
The National Association for Family & Community Education provides education and leadership training for public policy action on family issues. A grass roots, volunteer organization which deals with family issues before they become leading social concerns. Local FCE Clubs would welcome to our network of women and men who are taking a stand for families....who are determined to change their communities for the better...who are enriching their own lives....and who are empowering others to reach for the same dreams.
FCE is unique, it appeals to members on many levels...members with such a huge diversity of interests have found a common bond in "Family Community Education."
We currently don't have any FCE clubs, but do have access to a wealth of FCE educational materials.

KAFCE
The Kansas Association for Family & Community Education has evolved from a group of ladies meeting in 1914, in Leavenworth County, Kansas who were requesting help in food preservation from a national leader. The name has changed through the years, Community Club, Farm Bureau Unit, Home Demonstration Units (HDU), Extension Homemakers Units (EHU) and in 1992 the name was changed to the Kansas Association for Family and Community Education (KAFCE). The members of KAFCE are also members of the National Association of Family & Community Education (NAFCE).
County Clubs
Chautauqua County Extension Clubs are working toward building a better community by learning leadership, personal growth, creative skills and the joy of fellowship. Once known as Extension Homemakers Units (EHUs), these clubs have made it their mission to empower individuals and families to improve their lives through continuing education, leadership development, and community service.
