Catoosa County Extension Office: I Am Georgia 4H
4-H Youth Development

General Info

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 agricultural and environmental issues, agriculture awareness, leadership, communication skills, foods and nutrition, health, energy conservation, and citizenship.

Exploring and discovering, encouraging and challenging, that's what Georgia 4-H is all
about. As a program of the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental
Sciences Cooperative Extension System, 4-H is part of the nationwide Extension
network.

4-H'ers are known for sharing their research-based knowledge and technology to people
where they live and work. 4-H combines federal, state, and local expertise and
resources.
