Sheriff Mike Couvillon has been a tireless advocate for Vermilion Parish 4-H throughout his 20 years of public service. A 4-H alumnus himself, Mike began supporting 4-H as a livestock buyer and project leader. As sheriff, he deepened his impact—donating over $170,000 through livestock purchases, providing vans and deputy labor for transportation, and serving as an auctioneer for major fundraisers. His efforts helped raise over $40,000 for St. Jude through Junior Leader events. A Master Horseman graduate, Mike also led horse clinics and supported the parish Shooting Sports program. He was instrumental in launching the 4-H ATV Safety Program and consistently judged youth events. His belief in 4-H as a builder of leadership and character is matched by his actions. Whether mentoring youth, securing resources, or volunteering behind the scenes, Mike’s legacy is defined by service, generosity, and a deep commitment to making 4-H thrive in Vermilion Parish.
