Home and Community Education (HCE)

Wisconsin Association for Home and Community Education, Inc, (WAHCE) is a nonprofit educational organization comprised of local clubs within St. Croix County.  The organization is unique in that the members extend the information they receive from the University faculty and other reliable sources to the membership and community.
