Liberty County Extension Office:
4-H and Youth Development

General Info

What is 4-H?

4-H is an educational program focusing on leadership, citizenship, public speaking and life skills.  We are the youth program of The University of Georgia Cooperative Extension Service.   4-H began as a Boys Corn Club and a Girls Tomato Canning Club;  however, 4-H today teaches computer skills, recycling, photography, nutrition, violence
prevention, teamwork, and many other topics.

Who is eligible?

Any youth, ages 9-19, may join.  Liberty County 4-H has more than 1,200 members.

Where does 4-H meet?

4-H members in 5th grade meet monthly during school.  6th-8th grade 4-H'ers meet as an after-school club at their school.  High school 4-H'ers meet at the 4-H Office in the evening.  Special activities and field trips are held after school hours.

How much does it cost?

There is no charge for membership. Optional activities may have a nominal charge.

What about parents?

Parents are an important part of 4-H activities and are always welcome.
