Baton Rouge, LA - The Southern University Ag Center's 4-H Living
Interactive Family Education (LIFE) National
Mentoring Program has received an award in the amount of $75,200 from
the National 4-H Council, funded by the Office of
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP).
"This amount is based on your requested award amount
and the projected youth reach in your submitted proposal, which Council has
reviewed and recommended for funding," stated Sally Miske, National 4-H Financial Management Director, in a letter
informing the Ag Center of the council's intention to fund the program.
The SU Ag Center's 4-H LIFE program seeks to rebuild broken
family units who have been impacted by parental incarceration. The 4-H National Mentoring project engages
youth ages 5 to 17 in interactive family activities that include the
incarcerated parent and the caregiver. The
program is continuing its implementation in both East Baton Rouge and St.
Landry Parishes.
