BEDFORD — Purdue Extension Lawrence County has officially opened enrollment for the new 4-H program year, inviting local youth and families to participate in hands-on learning experiences designed to build leadership, confidence, and essential life skills.

Offering programs spanning agriculture, animal science, STEM, and healthy living, 4-H provides diverse opportunities for youth of all backgrounds to explore their interests. In addition to youth enrollment, the extension office is actively seeking adult volunteers to help guide and inspire the next generation of leaders.
Individuals interested in signing up for 4-H or becoming a volunteer can contact Clint Deck by email at lawrenceces@purdue.edu or by calling the Purdue Extension office at 812-275-4623.
Social Media Page Transition
Alongside the kickoff of enrollment, Purdue Extension Lawrence County announced that its current social media presence is transitioning to a dedicated page titled Purdue Extension Lawrence County 4-H to feature local program news, events, and community celebrations.
To better serve residents, broader Purdue Extension updates will now be hosted on the new Purdue Extension South Central Region page. This regional hub is designed to share stories, programs, and impact metrics from across South Central Indiana. Extension leadership thanked the community for its continued support and encouraged residents to stay connected through both platforms.
