Screven County Extension is dedicated to investing in the youth, families and farmers living in Screven County. Providing opportunities for youth through 4-H and resources for farmers, homeowners and stakeholders through Agriculture and Natural Resources (ANR) programming.

The 4-H program offers a variety of activities to youth and families through in-school and local program delivery, 4-H summer camp, Project Achievement and Project SAFE Shooting Sports. The addition of several competitive educational events (Horse Judging, Livestock Judging, Cotton Boll and Consumer Judging and Poultry Judging) teaches youth important decision-making skills while also preparing them for real-world situations.

The ANR program strives to keep the mission of Extension to translate the science of everyday living for farmers, families and communities to foster a healthy and prosperous Georgia. The ANR program continues to provide valuable resources and decision-making tools to farmers, agribusinesses and homeowners to ensure successful crops and profitability for the future. As agriculture is our state’s top industry, we aspire to touch the lives of all Georgians, from career farmers to urban gardeners.

Family and Consumer Sciences

Although Screven County does not have a Family and Consumer Sciences (FACS) agent based in the county Extension office, existing staff seek to offer support to the members of our local community with their questions and concerns. Most frequently asked questions span from areas of food safety, food preservation, dealing with mold and mildew, healthy meal planning, nutrition, family budgeting, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-Ed) resources and more. These issues and many others can be answered through a wide variety of free UGA Extension publications available at the county office and online. There is also the potential to organize phone conferences with FACS agents from surrounding counties. Neighboring FACS agents often conduct programming that our county residents are welcome to attend. Our office strives to provide the most up-to-date information regarding relevant programming in surrounding counties and aid in navigating the plethora of information available through Extension.
