Homemakers Promoting Community-Based Adult Education
Extension Homemakers is a volunteer group that develops leadership skills, supports community causes, and promotes UMaine Extension’s educational programs in nine Maine counties. These organized programs are part of the statewide network of Extension Homemakers.
Years
Local group members meet throughout the year to participate in educational programs and identify community projects, such as providing assistance to local food pantries or nursing homes or veterans groups, funding educational scholarships or youth camp programs.
In many Maine counties, Extension Homemakers remain a traditional and vital part of the community fabric. They also provide direct and indirect benefits in terms of volunteer hours, fundraising, and material donations.

Extension Homemakers Are Key to Lifetime Learning
The Extension Homemakers Creed
Let us join together to educate and serve the members of our organization and the community.
Let us be aware of and be concerned for each other.
Let us do all things in a caring manner and with true enjoyment.
We truly believe in the home and community involvement that living in a free county allows us.
May our examples provide a beacon for others to follow and may our efforts ensure a future for homemakers everywhere.
– Caroline Mayo, Author, Franklin County Homemaker; adopted 1995
