4-H Youth Development

Various images of students enjoying 4-H activities

The Georgia 4-H program is part of the educational outreach of the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. 4-H is America's largest youth development organization.

Jeff Davis County County 4-H is dedicated to providing youth development opportunities to students. We begin meeting with 4-H'ers in the 5th grade through in-school club meetings. We will meet once each month to bring an enrichment program to the classroom. Our programs focus on leadership, character enhancement, public speaking, science and social interaction. This is a club that your child can be part of throughout high school and even into college. We offer a wide range of events such as fairs, livestock projects, judging teams, public speaking contests, camps, community service, after school activities and much more!

Who's eligible to join?
Jeff Davis County 4-H has a program for youth in 5th through 12th grade.

How much does it cost to join 4-H?
There is no cost to join 4-H and all students are encouraged to participate. Some afterschool and weekend events may incur some minimal costs. Such costs will be advertised with promotion of the program.
