Extension Homemakers

Author: Brenda Cockerham

Planning Unit: Johnson County CES

Major Program: Kentucky Extension Homemaker Association

Plan of Work: Developing and Empowering Community Leaders for Engagement

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

Extension Homemakers continue to be one of the top leadership programs in Johnson County- not just in Family and Consumer Sciences but in the county in general. These volunteers work extensively in the community in a variety of topics and are now growing. Perhaps for the first time in the clubs history, there are more members under 50 than over it. With 118 members and two new clubs, the newer clubs are issue oriented. They are wanting to pursue topics such as the needle exchange, environmental challenges, cultural community opportunities and school bullying. The traditional members continue to deliver numerous topics and favor carrying on cultural traditions, while the younger audience enjoys benefitting from that experience. The county continues to have leadership in the club, county, area and state levels of the organization.
