Any youth, K-12th grade, who either lives in Upson County or attends school in Upson County is eligible to be a member of Upson County 4-H.
To enroll in 4-H you just need to fill out these forms and bring them to our office:

Forms are also available at the Upson County Extension Office: 305 South Hightower Street, Suite 170.
You can sign up for programs when you drop off your forms or, once we have all of your forms, you can call us on 706-647-8989 to register for programs and events.
Transportation
We have a mini-bus for transporting students to after-school clubs and events. We pick up from all Upson-Lee schools. Students must bring a note to school from parents/guardians giving permission to ride the 4-H bus. A note is required each time you ride the bus.
You must also call the Extension Office to let us know that you will need a ride.
We pick up primary and elementary students from the car riders' line. We pick up middle schoolers from the parking lot beside the school (across the footbridge). We pick up high schoolers from the Fine Arts Center.
Look for the white mini-bus with Upson Extension Service on the side.
What is 4-H?
4-H is America’s largest youth development organization—empowering nearly six million young people across the U.S. with the skills to lead for a lifetime.
In 4‑H, we believe in the power of young people. We see that every child has valuable strengths and real influence to improve the world around us.
Upson County 4-H is a program of the University of Georgia Extension in collaboration with Upson County (county government).
4-H Mission
The mission of Georgia 4-H is to assist youth in acquiring knowledge, developing life skills, and forming attitudes that will enable them to become self-directing, productive and contributing members of society. This mission is accomplished, through "hands on" learning experiences, focused on STEAM & Agriculture, Healthy Living, and Citizenship.
4-H stands for Head, Heart, Hands and Health. You can learn more about this by clicking the image below.
