🍀 Homeschool Students & Students Without a School 4-H Club... You Can Still Join Terrebonne 4-H! 🍀

Did you know that all youth in grades 4-12 can participate in Terrebonne 4-H, even if they are homeschooled or attend a school that does not have a 4-H club?

✅ Homeschool Students You may join the Terrebonne 4-H Homeschool Club or enroll as a Member-at-Large.

✅ Students Whose School Does Not Have a 4-H Club (Examples include EMHS, Acadian, Oaklawn, and possibly Grand Caillou Middle.) You may join Terrebonne 4-H as a Member-at-Large.

What is a Member-at-Large? Members-at-Large can participate in all Terrebonne 4-H activities, contests, events, camps, project clubs, and opportunities. The only difference is that they do not attend a monthly school-based club meeting.

If you are planning to exhibit your livestock project at the 2027 LSU AgCenter Livestock show, be sure to review the possession and validation information below!

1. Animals must be in continuous possession of exhibitors from time of validation until the LSU AgCenter State Livestock Show. See the rules in 2026-27 LSU AgCenter State Livestock Show catalog or consult the livestock show manager for specific possession rules.

2. Exhibitors should request validation kits from agents and FFA advisors as per parish guidelines. Each parish LSU AgCenter 4-H office will supply validation kits to exhibitors upon request.
