Boyd County Extension works many great organizations. One statewide entity is the Kentucky Extension Homemakers Association (KEHA).We are very fortunate to have 5 clubs in Boyd County, as well as several Junior Homemaker Clubs at local schools. Any activity that Family and Consumer Sciences or the KEHA offers is open to the public, please be aware that some have fees associated with them in order to cover cost. The KEHA is a club that accepts dues and if you are interested in starting a new club or joining an existing club, please contact the Extension Office for more information at (606)739-5184.
