4-H is a community of young people across America who are learning leadership, citizenship and life skills. Through non-formal, research-based, experiential education activities, 4-H participants gain knowledge and life skills enabling them to become positive, productive, capable and compassionate member of their communities. We invite you to join us at West Feliciana 4-H, where the fun never ends!
The 4-H program in West Feliciana parish is unique because we are a smaller parish which gives us the opportunity to get to know our 4-Hers on a more personal level! 4-H is offered as a club through the West Feliciana School System at Bains Elementary School (4th & 5th Grades), WFMS, & WFHS. If you are homeschooled and are a member of the West Feliciana Co-op group, you can join 4-H through the West Feliciana Co-op Club. If you go to Parkview Baptist Flex you can join the 4-H Flex Club.
