This past weekend, the 2026–2027 Jr. Leadership Florence County / 4-H Class gathered at the SC FFA Camp for the program's opening retreat. This is the 12th year for the JLFC program serving sophomore and junior high school students of Florence County.
Throughout the retreat, participants challenged themselves through team-building activities, leadership development experiences and opportunities to build lasting friendships. Each student stepped outside their comfort zones, discovered their individual strengths and began developing the leadership skills that will guide them throughout the year.
We are excited to welcome another outstanding class of young leaders and can't wait to see all they accomplish over the next ten months. Their journey officially begins, and we look forward to seeing them reconvening for their first monthly session, Leadership Exploration Day, in August.
The Jr. Leadership Florence County 4-H Program is made possible through the partnership of Clemson Extension Florence County – Florence County 4-H, the Greater Florence Chamber of Commerce and Francis Marion University.
A special thank you to the SC FFA Camp staff for their outstanding hospitality and to Florence County School District Two for providing transportation for the student participants.
