4-H Youth Development
About 4-H
In Georgia, there are more than 180,000 young people learning and having fun through UGA Extension's Youth Development Program, 4-H. The Georgia 4-H Program receives support from the United States Department of Agriculture, the University of Georgia, local and county governments, and donors.
4-H members gain self-confidence by learning good communication and public speaking skills at District Project Achievement (DPA). They make new friends by attending conferences, camps, and reward trips. 4-H also teaches members wise leadership and decision-making skills through Leader's Training and judging events.
The 4-H pledge
"I pledge my HEAD to clearer thinking, my HEART to greater loyalty, my HANDS to larger service, and my HEALTH to better living for my CLUB, my COMMUNITY, my COUNTRY, and my WORLD.
The 4-H motto is "TO MAKE THE BEST BETTER."
The 4-H slogan is "LEARN BY DOING."
The 4-H colors are green and white and the emblem is the four-leaf clover.
The Pike County Program
Pike County 4-H Program educator, Penny Cosper, visits Cloverleaf 4-H'ers (5th & 6th graders) in the Pike County school system. Students learn about 4-H, Georgia agriculture, water conservation and the environment, nutrition and so much more.
During the school year, Junior 4-H'ers (7th and 8th graders) and Senior 4-H'ers (9th-12th graders) meet once a month after school. The 4-H bus provides transportation from school to the 4-H office for after-school meetings.
Pike County Homeschool Club meets on the first Thursday of each month during the school year.
In the summer, Pike County 4-H'ers have the option to attend summer camp at one of our camps that make up the Georgia 4-H Summer Camp Program.
