Georgia 4-H 2022 Year in Review!



Going Beyond Ready

4-H helps kids find their spark, build real world skills and become resilient, adaptable, lifelong learners.

For our youth the road ahead may be challenging, yet 4-H'ers are succeeding. Data shows that compared to their peers they're:

  • 2x more likely to have the goal of being a leader
  • 3x more likely to participate in community service
  • 2x more likely to report living life with intentionality and purpose
