The Sevier County Extension Office would like to announce that Kyle Williamson of De Queen has been selected for the 2025 Careers for Arkansas Livestock Leaders (CALL) Program.

The CALL Program is a career-focused leadership experience designed for youth passionate about livestock species. Youth will connect with industry leaders, learn about career opportunities in the livestock industries, and develop friendships that will last a lifetime. Only 20 youth have been selected for the 2025 Livestock Leader Class. The Livestock Leaders will serve as ambassadors for 4-H Livestock programs while gaining valuable leadership and networking skills. Those selected will undergo training, attend the CALL Tour, and work with fellow 4-Hers to lead educational workshops and 4-H promotion efforts. The 2025 CALL Tour will be a 5-day trip touring livestock operations and businesses throughout Texas.

Kyle Williamson is the son of Ronnie and Tiffany Williamson of De Queen. He was named a 2022 Arkansas Teen Star and currently serves as a 4-H Arkansas State Ambassador. When asked about this opportunity Kyle stated, “It's an honor and a privilege to be accepted. This opportunity will allow me to deepen my knowledge of the livestock industry, connect with leaders in the field, and grow as a leader myself. I look forward to bringing back what I learn to benefit my community and peers.”
