4-H Day at the Capitol

4-H Day at the Capitol provides an opportunity for youth to learn about governmental procedures and emphasizes the importance of citizen involvement in the governmental process. Participants visit with legislators sharing their 4-H experiences and learning about the role of legislators in government. They observe the legislative process in action, have opportunities to learn about the Congressional Aides and Pages Programs, and have an opportunity to tour the Capitol, museums, or other historical sites in the Baton Rouge area.
This year, Union Parish 4-H took eleven 4-H’ers and one adult chaperone to 4-H Day at the Capitol. It was held on Wednesday, May 30, 2018. During the general assembly, 4-H members heard from various representatives and senators. Union 4-H had the opportunity to meet their State Representative Rob Shadoin.
Union 4-H would like to thank Representative Rob Shadoin for his support of the 4-H program in Union and taking time out of his busy schedule to meet with us.
