Creed, Mission Statement, and Code of Ethics
Arkansas Extension Homemakers Council Creed
I believe in the Extension Homemakers Club program and accept the responsibilities it offers to be helpful to others and to provide for continuous improvement in all levels of living.
I believe that through working together in a group we can enlarge the opportunities, enrich the life of our people, and create a more contented family and community life. I believe in my own work as a homemaker.
I believe that the greatest force that molds character comes from the home, and I pledge myself to create a home which is morally wholesome, spiritually satisfying, and physically healthful and convenient.
Arkansas Extension Homemakers Council Mission Statement
The mission of this organization shall be to empower individuals and families to improve their quality of living through continuing education, leadership development, and community service.
