Health and Wellness within our community is something that we are committed to uplifting for all our residents of Orange County. Here at Cornell Cooperative Extension of Orange County, we provide a diverse array of opportunities to better the health and wellness our community, including nutrition education, parenting and familial support, resilience building workshops, and more.
At CCE Orange, we are committed to the belief that Health and Wellness is multi-dimensional, and that there are so many different things that contribute to a positive wellbeing. There is not one way to experience positive health and wellness, as it looks different for everyone.
This summer, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Orange County invites YOU to explore your creativity and knowledge regarding health and wellness with our first ever Youth Summer Art Contest. The prompt for this year is, “What does health and wellness mean to you this summer?” From your perspective, show us what health and wellness means to you, and how you chose to pursue it for yourself this summer. We cannot wait to see your creations!
