4-H Youth Development

Why 4-H?  

Through 4-H, more than 1,000 young people in Madison County learn new skills and serve their communities each year. 4-H offers clubs, special interest programs, leadership skills development, summer camps, citizenship, school enrichment, after-school activities and FUN. Guided by UGA Extension Agents and adult and teen volunteers, 4-H'ers gain knowledge, skills and experience that help them become responsible citizens and leaders.

Going on tours, attending special programs and parties, raising and showing livestock, conducting community service activities, judging events, making things, and sharing what they have learned are some of the things your child can do in 4-H.  Through their club experience, youth gain skills in decision making, public speaking, cooperation, and communication.

Call the Madison County Office at (706) 795-2281 to find out how you can be a part of one of the largest youth organizations.

4-H is open to all youth regardless of race, color, creed, national origin, sex, or disabilities.
