About 4-H

What is the mission of Georgia 4-H?

The mission of Georgia 4-H is to assist youth in acquiring knowledge, developing life skills, and forming attitudes that will enable them to become self-directing, productive, and contributing members of society. This mission is accomplished through "hands on" learning experiences focused on agricultural and environmental issues, agriculture awareness, leadership, communication skills, foods and nutrition, health, energy conservation, and citizenship.

What is 4-H?

4-H is a youth development program that seeks to build leadership skills, public speaking skills, citizenship, and community service. 4-H is exploring, discovering, encouraging, challenging, and of course having fun! 4-H is a branch of the University of Georgia and UGA Extension Camden County.

Camden County 4-H works with resident youth in 5th-12th grades enrolled in public, private, and home school.  Regular in shcool club meetings are held monthly for 5th graders enrolled in public school and we offer a large variety of programming outside of shcool for all 5th - 12th graders.  Program topics include STEM, healthy living, and environmental education and strive to match interests of our 4-H participants.
