Join 4-H
Join 4-H as a member or a leader by contacting your local County Extension Office. A complete list of Extension office email addresses and phone numbers can be found at the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences Personnel Directory. A University of Georgia Faculty or staff member will help you pursue involvement in your county and access to the world of opportunities in 4-H. Select from more than 50 project areas, participate in any of hundreds of events, apply for scholarships, travel around the world. Your county extension 4-H office is the door of opportunity for you.
Membership guidelines for students:
Any person, regardless of race, color, national origin, gender, or disability may enroll as a 4-H member.
Youth who are below age nine and are more than five years of age on or before January 1, of the current year, may enroll in special 4- H Cloverbud or Cloversprout groups in counties where this option is available. (Note that not all counties offer the Cloverbud program. Check with your local extension office.) There also are opportunities in several 4-H Animal Projects for pre club members. Youth who are nine years of age and have not reached their nineteenth birthday on or before January 1, of the current year may enroll in 4-H clubs and groups.
Persons considered to be mentally challenged may participate fully in the 4-H program regardless of age with special permission originating with their county agent and being approved by the State 4-h leader.
4-H typically does not charge dues or require uniforms. However, there may be fees associated with certain events and programs.
Adult Volunteer leaders are welcome and needed in all county programs. A registration form and certification process is available in all county extension offices.

At the recent State 4-H Congress, our own 4-H agent, Cindy Meadows, (center) was honored. We’ve known all along that she’s great and she’s now getting more statewide recognition for excellence in 4-H work. The plaque reads, “2011 William A. Booth Southwest District Award presented to Cindy Meadows, recognizing your outstanding work with Georgia’s 4-H participants as a county 4-H Agent, presented by Georgia EMC.” Cindy does a great job in running our multi-faceted Seminole County 4-H program, which includes Project Achievement (5th through 12th grades), Judging Teams (Cotton Boll and Consumer Judging, Poultry Judging), Community Service, Club Meetings, Summer Camping and activities, Livestock programs, and Leadership programs.
These awards are a tribute to Bill Booth, a founder of Jackson Electric Membership Corporation. He was a rural electric pioneer, who worked 40 years in rural electrification. He helped form a National Organization of Electric Cooperatives and he suggested that the EMC’s help sponsor 4-H events. We appreciate the state EMC and our local Three Notch EMC which are so generous in helping and supporting our youth projects.

This is a Thank You card made on a whole piece of poster board by Mrs. Croom's 5th Grade Class. It was presented to Cindy Meadows on the last day of school 2011. Cindy holds 4-H club meeting with 6 sections of 5th grade classes each month.
