Where Hard Work Meets
Opportunity
Our youth are up before school to feed, back at the barn after dinner, practicing a speech when the house is quiet, and welding a project long after dark. They put in the hours most folks never see, and they come out of it with responsibility, resilience, and pride in doing a job right.

Who We Are
Rooted in Sabine County Since 1982
Since 1982, neighbors here have raised the barns, worked the check-in tables, and kept the lights on so Sabine County's 4-H and FFA youth have a place to show what they've worked on all year. We are the Sabine County Agricultural Improvement Youth Foundation, a volunteer board of people who'd rather be in a barn than anywhere else.
- We are neighbors and volunteers committed to keeping opportunity close to home.

In Their Words
Hear From the Youth of Sabine County
“I am a Sabine County Junior Livestock Scholarship Recipient. I will be attending LSU‑A this fall to study nursing. This scholarship means a lot to me because of the many years my Pops spent helping me raise and show animals. I am incredibly grateful this association chose to help me pursue my degree in nursing. Thank you!”
“I live in Hemphill, Texas, and I am a recent homeschool graduate. I am one of the recipients of the Sabine County Youth Foundation's $1,000 scholarship. I am extremely grateful to the youth foundation for providing me with this opportunity to be able to help fund my education at Panola College this fall studying criminal justice. I plan to pursue a career in the justice system one day.”
