4-H & Youth Development

Our Future

DeKalb's future leaders learn life skills through hands-on learning experiences. As the second largest program in Georgia, more than10,000 urban and suburban 9 -19 year olds participate in 4-H Clubs, Youth Leadership DeKalb and other youth development programs.

4-H provides youth with the opportunity to participate in a wide range of activities such as summer camps, judging events, community service, County Project Achievement (CPA) and District Project Achievement (DPA). We are the youth component of the University of Georgia Cooperative Extension.

Along with providing positive youth development, 4-H teaches responsibility, caring, communication skills, and self-confidence. There are 58 DeKalb County schools and community clubs that offer 4-H Clubs.

4-H Ice Cream

4-H inspired the third best-selling ice cream in the United States, Blue Bell Creameries, to introduce their newest flavor—Centennial Cupcake—in honor of more than 100 years of 4-H youth development programming.

Featuring a delicious cake batter ice cream with pieces of yellow cake, a chocolate icing swirl and four-leaf clover sprinkles, the Centennial Cupcake half gallon is now on shelves in stores where Blue Bell products are sold. To sweeten the deal, Blue Bell is donating a portion of the sales to promote 4-H educational programs.

The ice cream can also be purchased online at the Blue Bell website at:
