Junior Leadership Florence County Takes Part in Legislative Day

The Florence County Junior Leadership Class spent an incredible day at the South Carolina State House this week participating in the South Carolina 4-H Youth Development Legislative Day and State Government Session.

Throughout the day, students had the opportunity to network with Mr. Jonathan Eckstrom, Director of Cabinet Affairs with Governor’s Office, and members of the South Carolina House of Representatives and Senate. Experiences like this give our youth a firsthand look at how government works and how their voices can make a difference.

The JLFC group wrapped up the day by connecting with the Florence Delegation at lunch, celebrating leadership and the impact of 4-H across the state.

A special thank you to our Florence County Delegation, the Chambers Leadership Florence Program, the Greater Florence of Chamber, Francis Marion University and the Clemson Extension Florence County/Florence County SC 4-H for making this learning opportunity possible.

If you know a rising Florence County high school sophomore or junior interested in the Junior Leadership program, applications for next year’s class are open.
