Tennessee Family and Community Education Clubs (FCE)
"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 experience
- To improve home and community life
- To strengthen adult education
- To promote projects that 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-Home Demonstration Clubs and Extension Homemakers.
