4-H Pinckney Leaders have taken over local news! We’re so excited to highlight these leaders who are fully embracing the mission of empowering students to serve with compassion, lead with humility, and inspire others through integrity.
4-H Pinckney Leader, Eliana Pinckney, recently had the honor of sharing her story of leadership and social activism with the Post and Courier newspaper. Nearly six years after the death of her father, Eliana has worked hard to find her “voice” and use it in a way that creates positive change within her school and community. We are so glad that our program could play a part in her journey and look forward to seeing what she will accomplish in the future. Click the link to check out the full article on Eliana’s interview.

Last month 4-H Pinckney Leader, Alex Blocker, was recognized for being awarded a $10,000 national scholarship. Alex was one of two students in South Carolina who were awarded the United States Senate Youth Program award. The mission of the United States Senate Youth Program is to provide a yearly opportunity for selected students to gain an in-depth view of the Senate and the federal government overall as well as a deeper understanding of the interrelationship of the legislative, judicial, and executive branches. The program provides a foundation of knowledge and encouragement for those considering a future of public service on the local, state, or national level.
