Our Impact
Making A Difference in Our County
University of Georgia Cooperative Extension is working hard for its constituents. The following are examples of Extension’s impact in the county over the past year.
Bulloch County Extension provides research-based programs in agriculture, youth development and healthy living that address the needs and interests of Bulloch County citizens.
Bulloch County 4-H is committed to investing in the next generation of leaders. Each year, 4-H reaches students in grades fifth through 12th across 17 public and private schools, as well as homeschool groups, providing engaging and positive youth development experiences through extracurricular programming. Youth participate in programs such as Project Achievement, STEM education, educational and competitive judging teams, shooting sports, agricultural education, leadership development and community service. These opportunities help young people build confidence, develop practical skills and learn the importance of giving back to their communities while preparing to become productive, engaged citizens. Bulloch County 4-H also offers a variety of summer camping opportunities for youth in grades fifth through 12th at Georgia’s five 4-H camping centers. These experiences strengthen leadership, independence, teamwork and environmental awareness while creating lifelong connections to 4-H.
Agriculture and Natural Resources programming through UGA Extension continues to support Bulloch County’s strong agricultural economy. In addition to crop production, agriculture contributes to more than 1,800 local jobs, highlighting its critical role in the county’s economy.
