For the 2024-2025 program year, Bossier Parish 4-H Junior Leaders in eighth through 12th grade are exploring a course entitled Adulting 101. These monthly lessons utilize businesses, volunteers and community partnerships to ensure that the youth are Beyond Ready for adulthood.
So far, the Junior Leaders participated in a Dress for Success event held at Dillard’s where they learned how to dress for their body type, match colors to their skin tones and understand laundry tags and symbols. In October, the course welcomed an emergency room nurse who taught the basics of first aid and the steps to take in an emergency. The remainder of the program year will continue to focus on the foundations of adulthood to make sure the teens are Beyond Ready for the future.
