About Us

Welcome to Cornell Cooperative Extension of Livingston County!

Since 1913, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Livingston County (CCE-Livingston) has responded to the needs of local residents with unbiased, research-based information, tools and education that people have come to depend on and trust. Our programs are developed in direct response to community input, and are based on the most current information available from Cornell and other Land Grant universities from across the nation.

The mission of Cooperative Extension is to enable people to improve their lives and communities through partnerships that put experience and research knowledge to work. Extension staff and trained volunteers deliver education programs, conduct applied research, and encourage community collaborations. Our educators connect people with the information they need on topics such as commercial and consumer agriculture; nutrition and health; youth and families; finances; energy efficiency; economic and community development; and sustainable natural resources. Our ability to match university resources with community needs helps us play a vital role in the lives of individuals, families, businesses, and communities throughout Livingston County.

CCE-Livingston County is a subordinate governmental agency with an educational mission that operates under a form of organization and administration approved by Cornell University, as agent for the State of New York. It is tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Association is part of the national cooperative extension system, an educational partnership between County, State, and Federal governments. As New York’s land grant university, Cornell University’s College of Ag & Life Sciences and College of Human Ecology administer the extension system. Each Cornell Cooperative Extension Association is an independent employer that is governed by an elected Board of Directors, with general oversight from Cornell Cooperative Extension Administration. All Associations work to meet the needs of the counties in which they are located, as well as state and national goals. 

We have an extensive system for getting input from diverse interests in the community, and we welcome your ideas and involvement in our efforts. If you are interested in how CCE-Livingston sets policies and program priorities, or if you'd like more information on how to get involved, please contact our Executive Director at (585) 991-5420 or (585) 335-1752.
