Thirteen youth and four adults from Ouachita Parish participated in the environment project. Eight hours and 17 people have served on the service-learning project as of March 1, 2008. The goal of this project was to continue environmental focus through service-learning projects by Helping to Keep Ouachita Beautiful campaign. There is a great need for the community to come together and keep Ouachita Parish clean. Ouachita 4-H was approached to help with this need. Therefore, a meeting with the group was set up and the issue was discussed. Ouachita 4-H Jr. Leaders agreed to help out with community events and take on planting and maintenance of flower beds at public buildings. The Jr. Leaders reflected on how they can see improvement in the city. This is Ouachita Parish Jr. Leaders' third year into this project.
