What Cornell Cooperative Extension of Franklin County does

Cornell Cooperative Extension of Franklin County (CCE Franklin) is a non-profit educational organization operating as a county-level office of Cornell University's Cooperative Extension system, headquartered at 355 West Main Street, Suite 150 in Malone, New York (within the Franklin County Courthouse). It delivers research-based educational programming drawn from Cornell University across ten core program areas: 4-H Youth Development, 4-H Camp Overlook (a 6-day/5-night overnight camp in the Adirondack Mountains), 4-H After-School Programs, Agriculture, BOOST, Dairy in the Classroom (DITC), Energy and Environment, Farm to School, Gardening Resources, and Family, Health and Well-Being (including SNAP-Ed, food safety, food preservation, and emergency preparedness). The organization serves Franklin County residents plus surrounding North Country regions (Clinton, St. Lawrence, and Essex Counties), targeting youth and families, seniors (60+), low-income families, the local agricultural community, and school districts.

CCE Franklin operates as a community-led, mission-driven non-profit with no public revenue disclosure. Its revenue model is predominantly grant-funded (USDA SNAP-Ed, NY State Office for the Aging, federal/state appropriations via Cornell University allocations), supplemented by nominal program fees for camps, Master Food Preservation courses, and selected after-school enrollment. Distribution is delivered directly through the Malone headquarters, the 4-H Camp Overlook facility at Mountain View, NY, school sites, senior centers, and community partner locations. Strategic partnerships include Cornell University as the parent institution, the NY State Office for the Aging, USDA SNAP-Ed, local school districts, Alice Hyde Medical Center, Community Connections of Franklin County, NRCS, and Paul Smith's College VIC. Marketing occurs via organic social media, website content, email newsletters, community events, and partner referrals.
