University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension - Cumberland County
Cooperative Extension Services Expand Educational Opportunities
The Cumberland County Cooperative Extension Education Center was constructed in 2010 to home the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension - Cumberland County. This facilitated our ability to offer educational opportunities across the lifespan of our residents.
The mission of the Extension Service, simply stated, is to make a difference in the lives of Kentucky citizens through research-based education. Jointly with our other land-grant partner, Kentucky State University, we take the University to the people in their local communities, addressing issues of importance to all Kentuckians.
