4-H Youth Development

The mission of 4-H is to provide opportunities for youth to acquire knowledge, develop life skills, form attitudes, and practice behavior that will enable them to become self-directing, productive and contributing members of society. In Ouachita County today, there are 83 youth enrolled in 4-H Clubs, teams participants, as well as involved in out-of-school 4-H Youth Development educational programs throughout the year. Membership in 4-H is absolutely free and provides you with a world of opportunity!

Down the Garden Path

On the grounds of the Ouachita County Extension Service offices is a demonstration garden developed to be used for educational purposes for youth and adults. Classes in healthy cooking, vegetable gardening and youth education are held there or the harvest of the garden is used in programming.
