- Jr. Leader
This club is open to all 7th -12th grade 4-H members and meets on the second Tuesday of every month at 5:30 p.m. Junior Leaders have fun helping younger 4-H’ers with their project work and assisting the less fortunate in their communities. This club also participates in numerous activities where our members meet and make friends with other teenagers from throughout the state. Responsibilities include: media relations, community service-learning projects, hosting 4-H dances, assisting with preparations for contests, teaching workshops and serving as leaders at local community events.

The Acadia Parish Junior Leadership club participated in numerous activities throughout the year. From working together to complete challenges to serving others in need, this club is for youth interested in having fun with their peers while leading the 4-H community.

These youth have been offered the opportunity to travel to Atlanta, Memphis, Disney, and Orlando Studios to name just a few.
