4-H Youth Development

  • All 5th-6th grade students are enrolled in Appling County 4-H because 4-H is a part of the normal school enrichment. We meet monthly in 5th and 6th grade classes.
  • 7th-12th graders can enroll in 4-H by stopping by the 4-H office. We hold monthly after-school meetings for the Junior/Senior Club.
  • Students who are home-schooled may participate in all 4-H activities for their age group. Stop by the 4-H office to fill out an enrollment card.

It is free to join 4-H in Appling County. All 4-H'ers must have a current enrollment form on file at the Appling County Extension office. In addition, 4-H'ers who participate outside of the classroom meetings must have a 4-H Code of Conduct form on file.
