Our Impact
Making A Difference in Our County
University of Georgia Cooperative Extension is working hard for its constituents. The following are examples of Extension’s impact in the county.
Paulding County Extension serves a growing rural-urban interface with impactful, needs-based programming for every generation. To help youth prepare for the future, 4-H offered a Junior 4-H Leadership program to 6th-8th graders, focused on defining leadership, understanding leadership styles, building a leadership team, and effective decision-making skills. Journeyman Farmer Certification through our Agriculture program gave participants more
confidence in their farming practices. Participants used the knowledge they gained to make small farm production more efficient. Paulding Master Gardeners conducted youth gardening, school and adult library programs, senior programming, and served individuals with mental and developmental challenges with gardening outreach.
