Elbert County 4-H’s purpose is to reach the youth of our county with un-biased, research based information and to provide “hands on” learning through practical application. The work that Elbert County 4-H does in and with the schools enhances the Georgia Performance Standards. 4-H can truly submerge young people into science through project work and experiential learning at one of the five Georgia 4-H Centers. Elbert County 4-H provides numerous opportunities for youth and families at low cost. There are animal projects, target sport projects, leadership projects, community service projects and so much more right here in Elbert County 4-H. 4-H is able to further opportunities through scholarships. Most importantly, research validates that 4-H’ers succeed, they stay in school, they become contributing citizens and the leaders of our state. Not only does 4-H prepare young people for tomorrow, it also gives them the strength to face today.
