Lauren Smith, 4-H Agent
Exciting things are happening in Laurens County 4-H! Several new clubs are forming, and a few clubs are reestablishing, giving local youth even more opportunities to explore their interests, build leadership skills, and connect with others in the community.
Among the newest additions are:
Crafty Crew – A perfect fit for creative minds who love hands-on art and DIY projects.
Herd & Harvest Club – Combining agriculture and animal science for youth passionate about livestock and farming.
Crusader 4-H Club at Laurens Academy – Bringing the spirit of 4-H directly into the LA school community.
Among the relaunched clubs are:
Homeschool 4-H – A program for homeschool families to engage in fun, educational 4-H experiences.
Teen Council – Youth leaders who are passionate about making a difference in their clubs, community, and beyond.
These exciting new clubs are supported by the strong foundation of our established groups Raiders at Laurens High, Clinton House Shell Shockers, Joanna Woodson Afterschool, and the ever-popular Greenville- Laurens Dairy Club, which continues to offer enriching experiences for members interested in dairy education and animal care.
From cooking and crafts to agriculture and service, each club provides a space where kids can learn by doing, grow their confidence, and make lasting friendships. Dedicated parents and volunteers play an essential role in supporting these efforts, helping to guide the next generation of 4-H members. As these clubs take root and flourish, Laurens County youth will have more opportunities than ever to grow, lead, and make their mark.
