4-H Youth Development

What is 4-H?

4-H is part of UGA Extension. 4-H helps young people acquire knowledge, develop life skills, and form attitudes that will enable them to become self-directing, productive and contributing members of society through "hands-on" learning experiences.


Candler County 4-H relies on volunteers to serve as Shooting Sports coaches, judging team coaches, chaperones and more. Are you interested in serving as an adult volunteer with Candler County 4-H? If so, you can apply here.
