Family and Consumer Education Clubs (FCE)

Policy Statement

The University of Tennessee Extension offers its programs to all eligible persons regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability and is an Equal Opportunity Employer. For more than 75 years, a network of friends in communities across the state have shared these common goals:

• to learn through shared experience;
• to improve home and community life;
• to strengthen adult education;
• to promote projects that enhance family and community life.

Through our rich history, we have grown from small community clubs to a worldwide network focused on growth through education. You may recognize us by some of our earlier names: Home Demonstration Clubs and Extension Homemakers.
