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.
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, and my health to better living for my club, my community, my country and world."
