4-H Agents, Amy Long-Pierre and Bobby King, kicked off the St. Tammany Parish 4-H Centennial Celebration at their Parish Livestock Show Dinner and Sale. The celebration was held on Friday, January 25, 2008 at the Covington Fairgrounds.
Since 1908, Louisiana’s youth have been given opportunities to become positive, productive, capable and compassionate citizens in their communities through the largest youth organization in the world known as 4-H. Louisiana 4-H is an educational program of the LSU AgCenter and is part of the National 4-H organization. 4-H is the youth development and outreach program of the nation’s largest land-grant university system.
During 2008, more than 218,000 Louisiana youth along with more than 9,000 volunteers will celebrate the 4-H Centennial Anniversary. As we look to the future, we see 4-H as an organization that seeks to provide individualism to Louisiana’s youth as well as provide educational programs to teach life skills. These programs focus on the areas of science, engineering and technology, healthy lifestyles and citizenship.
