Richland County Home and Community Education
What is HCE?
HCE is a non-profit organization that partners with Division of Extension Human Development & Relationships Programs, at both the state and county level, to bring quality educational programming to our members and our communities. Wisconsin Association for Home and Community Education, Inc. (WAHCE) is a statewide organization with a written agreement with Division of Extension Human Development & Relationships Programs, that works with both the county level organizations, and State and National levels.
In our county organizations we work with our Human Development & Relationships Educators and look to that person for advice. One of the past deans of Extension, Carl O’Connor, called HCE and Extension “a long and successful partnership.” He said. “This organization represents the spirit of sharing and community involvement that makes Wisconsin a better place to live for all of us.” We work with the Human Development & Relationships Educators who guide us in that service to our members and our communities.
