4-H Youth Development

What is 4-H?

Are you looking to make new friends?  Do you like hands-on learning?  Do you like to laugh, learn, and help others?  Then 4-H is for you! 

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.

Who can join 4-H?

Students who are enrolled in Charlton County Public Schools are automatically registered into the 4-H Program and have monthly meetings at the school with the County 4-H Agent and Program Assistant. Students in K-3rd Grade can participate in our monthly Cloverbud's Club at the Extension Office. Homeschoolers are also allowed to register and participate in 4-H activities.             

What do we do in 4-H?                 

In addition to the monthly 4-H club meetings held throughout the county, there are several activities that 4-H'ers can participate in year-round. We have community service activities, project clubs, conferences, trips, contests, summer camp... There is something for everyone in 4-H.
