Tennessee Family & Community Education
“Learning Together is Better”

For more than 75 years, a network of friends in communities across the state has shared a common goal:

• To learn through shared experiences.
• To improve home and community life.
• To strengthen adult education.
• To promote projects which 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 some of our earlier names, which were Home Demonstration Clubs and Extension Homemakers.
