Dedicated citizens and civic leaders met in 1973 to create an entity that would collaborate with other agencies and organizations to provide lifelong learning for our citizens while utilizing existing physical and human resources and not duplicating other efforts. An interlocal agreement between the Bowling Green Independent and Warren County Public school districts and Warren County Fiscal Court sustains the agency.

Community Education has grown to provide before and after-school programs for about 1,000 children and youth on school days during the academic year and for as many as 300-plus students at all-day programs offered during school breaks.

Enrichment classes for adults cover a variety of subjects including fine arts (art, dance and music), crafts, cooking, computers, finance, fitness, foreign language, history, recreation, sewing, sports, occasional online classes and more.

Community Education offers volunteer opportunities and training for adults to go into schools to work with children, to assist with local events or to be placed in the community in conjunction with the ALIVE Center. The agency also works very closely with Volunteers in Action to train volunteer managers.

The agency also spearheads a variety of local events and initiatives aimed at serving the varied population of Bowling Green and Warren County. Community Education works with local Family Resource/Youth Services Center to oversee Teen Angel, a Christmas assistance program that ensures that teens who would normally get nothing (or very little) for Christmas receive something. Each spring, Community Education organizes  the Summer Activities Fair, which provides parents with children in grades k-12 a one-stop shop opportunity for information on activities, camps or other programs offered during the summer in our community. And, each summer, Community Education hosts Stand for Children Day, which provides fun activities for children while providing information to families and caregivers about the benefits available in our community.
