YATES COUNTY–Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) has been rooted in the Yates County community for over 100 years. The connection to Cornell University and the 112 additional institutions comprising the Land Grant University System allows access to research and resources to help address needs and issues affecting the local community.
CCE-Yates works with youth and families, area farms and businesses, as well as local community organizations to serve as a vital connection to research-based education and resources. This year, the group is excited to have a matching funds opportunity for the Friend of Extension campaign. An anonymous donor has offered to match donations received up to $5,000.
This year, 4-H youth development reached over 1,600 youth contacts with hands-on positive youth development programming via over 130 educational opportunities.
 Looking at the future of CCE-Yates, the group is encouraged by the possibilities for growth and increased outreach, education, and services for Yates County. A tax-deductible Friend of Extension donation allows for continued work and expansion.
