Oklahoma Home and Community Education, Inc. (OHCE) is a statewide, county-based organization that has a unique partnership with Oklahoma State University and OSU Extension. Local members seek to develop leadership skills and strengthen families in their respective communities. Working together, OHCE members and county Extension Educators identify issues facing their local communities and use research-based information from specialists at OSU to help solve those problems.
The group was at the Logan County Board of County Commissioners meeting on Monday to proclaim May 5 -11 as Oklahoma Home and Community Education Week.
OHCE groups promote good nutrition, exercise, emotional well-being, anti-bullying, military support, financial well-being, literacy, and leadership development. If these are ways you would like to impact your community, you are invited to join a local OHCE group by contacting them at 405-282-3331 to learn more.
The Cooperative Extension Service is based at Oklahoma State University with offices and Extension Educators serving each county. OHCE is a statewide and county-based organization. County Extension Educators, Family and Consumer Sciences serve as advisors to county OHCE organizations.
District and State Cooperative Extension Specialists and supervisors work with County Extension Educators and the OHCE program. Working in a cooperative effort, OHCE members and Extension Educators identify local issues facing families. These issues become the basis for OHCE educational programming and efforts are made to help families solve these problems.
