CCE-Tompkins continues to work for you while our offices are closed!

Members of our staff are continuing to do their usual jobs remotely, from their homes, and are engaged in a wide range of community efforts with other agency partners during this COVID-19 crisis. For write-ups and a running list of our efforts in the community during this time, please visit a new section on this website, Our Work During COVID-19 (updated as time permits).

CCE-Tompkins opened our offices for limited numbers of our staff to begin working on-site starting Monday, June 8th in Phase 2 of the NYS Forward Reopening Plan. We will continue to offer workshops and classes online to the extent possible, please visit our EVENTS page for current offerings. Although our Education Center is closed to visitors for the foreseeable future, you still may reach our staff by visiting our STAFF page for their email address or calling (607) 272-2292 and enter the person's extension to reach their voicemail. Our phone system will forward your voice message to them via email. As always, we're here to help with information - and people - you can trust!
