On Monday, September 22nd, the Louisiana Association of Extension 4-H Youth Development Professionals introduced a post on their Facebook page entitled Meet the Agent!

Featured under “4-H Agent Spotlight” was none other than Jackson Parish’s very own 4-H Director, Kristi Bourgeois. See below for the entertaining and informational submittal. 

4-H Agent Spotlight: Kristi Bourgeois

Meet the powerhouse behind Jackson Parish 4-H — Kristi Bourgeois! Kristi has been making waves with the LSU AgCenter for the past three years, and if you ask her what keeps her going, she’ll tell you: relationships.

“Whether it’s with the kids themselves, their families, or stakeholders in the community — the people I encounter are definitely the best part of my job.”

Kristi proudly reps Jackson Parish’s motto: “We Can Do The Hard Things” — and she lives it every day! From mentoring youth to building community connections, she’s all in.

Favorite memory? That time a senior called her before his own momma to share he’d been accepted to LSU. That’s the kind of impact Kristi makes — unforgettable and deeply personal.
Fun Fact: She’s the only coffee drinker in her house. (We’re guessing that #exhausted hashtag is well-earned!)
Best hashtags to describe Kristi? #exhausted #ilovemyjob #jacksonparish4Histhebest

Kristi, thank you for being a passionate, positive, and dedicated leader. Jackson Parish 4-H is lucky to have you!
