Programs that Empower Yates County

Cornell Cooperative Extension Yates County (CCE Yates County) offers a diverse array of programs designed to enrich lives, strengthen communities, and support a sustainable future. By pairing local insights with Cornell University's research-based resources, we create dynamic initiatives that address the most pressing needs of our county, from agriculture to youth development, health education, and beyond. As part of New York’s statewide Cooperative Extension network, our work is driven by the goal of improving economic, social, and environmental outcomes. Every program is tailored to benefit individuals, families, and businesses across Yates County, ensuring that the solutions we provide are both impactful and relevant.

“CCE-Yates helped me get my farm going. First, by offering free gardening classes to veterans, and then by sending a representative to help plan a layout for my crops. Having Caroline available to check in helped steady my confidence and kept me moving forward. Thank you, CCE-Yates and Caroline.”
