4-H Youth Development

What is 4-H?

4-H is the nation's largest youth leadership development organization empowering nearly six million young people across the United States with the skills to lead for a lifetime! In Georgia, there are more than 170,000 young people learning and having fun through 4-H. 4-H is a part of the University of Georgia Cooperative Extension and focuses on leadership, citizenship, public speaking and life skills.  Simply, 4-H is a world in which youth and adults learn, grow and work together as catalysts for positive change!

4-H members gain self-confidence by learning good communication and public speaking skills at District Project Achievement (DPA). They make new friends by attending conferences, camps, and reward trips. 4-H also teaches members leadership and decision-making skills through judging events and teen leader training. 4-H offers activities at the county, district, state, and even national level!

The four H's symbolize the development of the:

  • HEAD: to think, to plan, and to reason
  • HEART: to care for others and develop positive attitudes
  • HANDS: to be useful, helpful, and skillful
  • HEALTH: to practice healthy living, enjoy life, and use time wisely
