4-H Youth Development
What is 4-H?
4‑H is America’s largest youth development organization — empowering nearly six million young people with the skills to lead for a lifetime!
Youth are given a chance to "learn by doing" in a safe, inclusive environment. Young people gain skills and knowledge through hands-on project work, classes, workshops, judging events, camps and other engaging activities.
If you're ready for an exciting year filled with fun, educational activities and events, join 4-H today!
Who is eligible for 4-H?
Youth in 4th through 12th grades may enroll in 4-H clubs and groups. Troup County does not currently have 2019-2020 school year programming for youth under the 4th grade.
There are no dues or required uniforms; some events may have fees or dress code associated with them.
Three main, age-based levels of programming exist in Troup County 4-H:
- Cloverleaf (4th - 6th grade)
- Junior (7th & 8th grade)
- Senior (9th - 12th grade)
Any person, regardless of race, color, national origin, gender, or disability may enroll as a 4-H member.
