What is 4-H?
4-H is part of the University of Georgia's Cooperative Extension Service in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. 4-H assists young people to acquire knowledge, develop life skills, and form attitudes that will enable them to become self-directing, productive and contributing members of society through "hands-on" learning experiences.
In Greene County, youth in grades 4-12 (or ages 8-19 on January 1st of current year) may participate in the 4-H activities. These youth develop many workforce skills while working on their projects, including leadership, citizenship, decision-making, record keeping, public speaking, and teamwork. So how do I join?
4-H Emblem
The emblem is a four-leaf clover with the letter "H" on each leaf. The letters in the emblem represent; Head, Heart, Hands and Health. Use of the emblem is approved per regulations by the state 4-H office.
4-H Pledge
I pledge:
My head to clearer thinking,
My heart to greater loyalty,
My hands to larger service,
My health to better living,
For my club, my community, my country and my world.
