About Georgia 4-H

Georgia 4-H, a partner in public education, is youth and adults learning, growing and working together to experience and accomplish the extraordinary.

4-H activities and programs are designed with kids in mind. It's a place for young people to interact with sharing adults. 4-H is made up of large groups of enthusiastic and motivated kids, in an environment which builds pleasant memories. It is an assembly of teenagers extending peer support rather than peer pressure in a forum to experience hands-on learning to produce a well-rounded person.

4-H'ers have the opportunity to learn by doing various 4-H projects. Each 4-H'er is encouraged to chose a project in the area of sports and recreation, sciences, human development, performing arts, public speaking, nutrition and health or leadership. 4-H'ers practice what they have learned through various activities such as: local, district, state and national project achievement competitions, judging team events, leadership development programs, community service activities and special interest clubs.

Outstanding members can receive recognition, awards and college assistance scholarships. With a goal of providing boys and girls opportunities for achievement and community involvement, 4-H is one of the most personally rewarding experiences a young person can have.

The National 4-H emblem is a four-leaf clover which represents the four-fold development of Head, Heart, Hands, and Health. Youth learn why each of these is important and how they work together to produce a well-rounded person.

The four leaf clover signifies "good luck" and "achievement". Like the clover, 4-H represents the idea of a four-squared, well-rounded life. If it is good luck to find a four leaf clover, it is far better luck to know and live each "H" on the clover.

"To Make The Best Better"

4-H Slogan:
