What is the Kentucky Extension Homemakers Association (KEHA)?

KEHA is a volunteer organization that works to improve the quality of life for families and communities through leadership development, volunteer service, and education.  The organization was developed in cooperation with the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service.  Across the state, County Family and Consumer Science Extension Agents work closely with KEHA members to provide educational programs and coordinate community activities.  Learn more about the state organization at www.keha.org.
