A Very Sweet 16
Lauren Callan thought of a great use for the proceeds from her 4-H hog sale. She used most of it to buy decorations for her 16th birthday party. The snazzy “Oscar Night” themed party wasn’t just for Lauren, though. She shared her day with residents at the Prestige Assisted Living Center in Kalispell. Part of the fun was reminiscing with the residents about their own 16th birthdays.
This wasn’t a 4-H

This wasn’t a 4-H project. Lauren came up with it entirely on her own. But she said she’d never have had the idea if it hadn’t been for the relationship that her 4-H club has with the facility. Do sixteens come any sweeter than that?

Montana 4-H Foundation

The Montana 4-H Foundation, founded in 1969, serves as a non-profit corporation supporting the continued development and growth of the statewide 4-H program. The generous support of donors, volunteers, businesses and community partners helps make possible the many opportunities available to 4-H youth and leaders.

This partnership with MSU Extension and the 4-H Center for Youth Development allows many youth and leaders to participate in educational, social and often life-changing experiences that mold them into caring and contributing citizens and community leaders.
