Calcasieu Parish 4-H

10/14/2026

National 4-H Conference is more than a trip to Washington, D.C. It's a chance to become Beyond Ready.

Delegates work alongside federal partners, collaborate with teens from across the country, and tackle real-world issues affecting young people. Along the way, youth build skills in leadership, communication, teamwork, problem-solving, networking, civic engagement, and professionalism.

When they return home, delegates put those skills into action by serving in leadership roles that support statewide events like Spark Action Change | Summit.

Interested? Contact your parish 4-H agent to learn more about applying to become an NCD!

💚 Bible Baptist 4-H Club is making a difference! 💚

Our Bible Baptist 4-H members brought the hard work, creativity, and fun last week as they celebrated National 4-H Week! 🎉

From spreading kindness by writing positive messages on the sidewalks to electing their new club officers and organizing a donation drive for baby items, these members showed what 4-H is all about — Head, Heart, Hands, and Health! 💚

We are so proud of these young leaders for putting their hands to work, sharing their hearts with others, and finding meaningful ways to serve their community. Keep up the great work, Bible Baptist 4-H! 🍀
