Author: Alexandra Sallie

Planning Unit: Bath County CES

Major Program: Kentucky Extension Homemaker Association

Plan of Work: Leadership Enhancement and Community Development

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

The Kentucky Extension Homemakers Association (KEHA) is a volunteer organization that works to improve the quality of life for families and communities through leadership development, volunteer service, and education. County homemaker organizations provide leadership opportunities to its membership through holding an office, teaching a lesson, chairing an event, and being a part of many local coalitions. Most importantly, it provides fellowship and lifelong friendships for the members. 

Every year, Licking River Homemaker members work closely with the FCS agents within the counties to plan and implement a Leadership Day. This program is held twice a year, once in the Spring and once in the Fall. This day provides the homemaker members with the materials for the new Leader Lessons for that year. On these days, the KEHA members are able to learn the skills and review the materials for the lessons, so that they are able to return back to the counties and teach their fellow community members. Lesson range from healthy eating, environmental health, organization, etc. This year, 107 KEHA members, were able to participate in the program.
