4-H Youth Development

Doc1

What is 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 that focus on agricultural and environmental issues, agriculture awareness, leadership, communication skills, foods and nutrition, health, energy conservation, and citizenship.

The four Hs symbolize the development of the HEAD (to think, plan and reason), the HEART (to be concerned with the welfare of others, accept the responsibility of citizenship and develop positive attitudes), the HANDS (to be useful, helpful and skillful) and HEALTH (to practice healthy living, enjoy life and use time wisely).

Who is Eligible? 

The Douglas County 4-H Club is free to join year round and is open to all youth in grades  4th  through 12th who live or attend a school in Douglas County, Georgia.  Just simply complete the 4-H Enrollment Form & Code of Conduct to join and then sign up for the 4-H events and activities you would like to attend!
