4-H Youth Development
What is 4-H?
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 the largest youth organization in the world.
Today, 4-H is urban and suburban as well as rural. The program teaches life skills such as public speaking. Although proud of its beginnings as corn and tomato clubs, 4-H has evolved over the years to teach about computers, recycling, photography, dog care, teamwork and many other topics relative to Rockdale County's youth.
Who's eligible to join 4-H?
Rockdale County 4-H has a program for youth in kindergarten through 12th grade.
How much does it cost to join 4-H?
There are no dues to participate in 4-H. However, special project clubs (horse club, etc.) and activities may have a small charge. There are no uniforms for 4-H'ers. 4-H'ers may pick and choose what activities they participate in.
How to get involved?
