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 9-19 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.
Volunteers
Effective August 1, 2008, all volunteers who supervise minors in their vounteer work with Cooperative Extension must be screened through the UGA HR System. "Supervising" is defined as telling a youth (other than your own child) what they can or cannot do regardless of whether an Extension professional is present or not.
The screening process now consists of criminal background check, reference checks, overnight chaperone training, and an interview by an Extension faculty member.Click here for the steps to becoming a 4-H Volunteer.
