Brandi Brister
Welcome to East Baton Rouge Parish 4-H! Whether you're new to 4-H or have been part of this vibrant family for years, I’m excited to have you join us in Building a Better Tomorrow for EBR, one puzzle piece at a time. In 4-H, we focus on developing skills, fostering friendships, and creating lifelong memories, all while empowering young people to be the leaders of tomorrow.
As an experienced educator and youth development professional, I’ve seen firsthand the power of 4-H to shape futures. Whether it’s sparking an interest in STEM, encouraging leadership through community projects, or exploring the arts, 4-H helps every youth find their unique puzzle piece that fits into the bigger picture of success.
As your East Baton Rouge Parish 4-H Extension Agent, my mission is to provide opportunities that allow every child to thrive, connect, and grow. Through exciting programs, enriching camps, and leadership-building activities, we aim to support our youth in discovering their strengths and passions. Together, we are piecing together the future, ensuring that every child has the tools to build a brighter tomorrow.
Our theme, Building a Better Tomorrow for EBR, reflects our commitment to creating a community where everyone plays a part. I encourage you to reach out with any questions, ideas, or suggestions as we continue to make East Baton Rouge Parish a beacon of what 4-H can achieve.
Let’s work together to complete the puzzle and make this year in 4-H unforgettable!

Isabella Pershing
Welcome to East Baton Rouge Parish 4-H! My name is Isabella Pershing, though most know me as Bella, and I am thrilled to serve as your Assistant Extension Agent. Originally from Arizona, my background in environmental science has given me a deep appreciation for the connection between our natural world and the growth of our young people. I’m excited to bring that passion here to Louisiana and help our youth find their place in Building a Better Tomorrow for EBR, piece by piece.
In 4-H, I believe in the power of hands-on learning and discovery. Whether it’s exploring the outdoors, engaging in environmental projects, or fostering leadership skills, 4-H provides a space where every youth can thrive. My goal is to help each young person connect with their passions and grow into leaders who are not only knowledgeable but also thoughtful stewards of their communities and the environment.
Through dynamic programs, engaging activities, and the collaborative spirit that defines 4-H, we’re piecing together a future where every child plays a vital role. I’m here to support you and your child as we work together to create lasting memories and positive impacts.
Let’s make East Baton Rouge Parish shine brighter than ever through 4-H!
Making the best better,
