About Our County
Welcome to Cornell Cooperative Extension of Chautauqua County!
Cornell Cooperative Extension of Chautauqua County is an educational not for profit association serving Chautauqua County residents since 1914. Our mission is to enable people to improve their lives and communities through partnerships that put experience and research knowledge to work. We accomplish this mission through educational programs that include workshops, personal consultations, radio, monthly newsletters, electronic communications and a wide array of publications.
Our research base and training partner is Cornell University and we also draw information from other land-grant universities across the country. Cornell Cooperative Extension programs in every county in New York State are linked back to our state's land-grant university, Cornell University. We are supported by Chautauqua County Government, New York State, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and by grants, fees, and donations.
The Association's priorities are determined by the people. The local Board of Directors and Program Advisory Committee Members of Cornell Cooperative Extension Chautauqua County represent individuals from varied backgrounds who reside in Chautauqua County's rural towns, villages and cities. The result is a broad spectrum of educational programs addressing needs in agriculture, youth development, family life sciences, environment, and community development.
We are Committed to:
* Excellence - We deliver programs of the highest quality and take pride in the variety of our programming
* Responsiveness - we respond to people's needs in a timely manner
* Collaboration - We optimize resources through partnerships
* Learner-centered, lifelong education - We enable people to adapt to a rapidly changing environment
* Volunteers - We respect and depend on volunteers to multiply program efforts and help lead the organization.
* Inclusiveness - We embrace diversity and respect a variety of opinions
