We want to give a big shoutout to our summer Extension intern, Taylor Stubblefield!

This summer Taylor wrote and secured a grant to lead a Day of Service focused on community resilience, conservation, and service. The project will engage youth and adults in hands-on activities while giving back to the community.

Taylor has been an outstanding Extension intern with LaHouse this summer. In addition to helping with Extension projects across the state, she stepped into leadership roles during our Community Changemakers Camp, where she helped lead educational activities and inspire youth to think about how they can make a difference in their communities.

A student in Agricultural and Extension Education and Evaluation (AEEE) in the LSU College of Agriculture, Taylor brings enthusiasm, creativity, and a heart for service to everything she does. We are grateful for the energy and dedication she has shared with our programs this summer and are excited to see the impact of her Day of Service project.

We're thankful for all she has contributed this summer and can't wait to see her project come to life. Congratulations, Taylor! LSU AgCenter
