Louisiana has thousands of 4‐H members in hundreds of 4‐H Clubs across the state. 4‐H is conducted by the LSU AgCenter through its Louisiana Cooperative Extension Service. 4‐H also is the largest youth organization in the United States. Join today and have fun while you’re learning new things and making new friends!
A 4‐H Club is a group of young people in your school or in your community who want to improve their heads, hearts, hands, and health. Each 4‐H Club has its own officers. They are supervised by Extension agents and volunteer leaders (appointed by the school).
“Learn by Doing” is the 4‐H Club slogan. 4‐H members don’t just read about things; they do them. They make things; take part in club meetings; learn interesting new things; learn to follow; and learn to lead. They help their community through club activities.
We are very excited to begin the 4-H Year!
Louisiana 4-H is transitioning to an online enrollment system. 4-H Online is fully encrypted; member and volunteer information are safe, backed up continuously, and fully secured. This new system allows families to manage all of their contacts in one place.

Dear Parents, Members and Leaders,
