The Fayette County 4-H program is making an impact on the lives of local youth thanks to the significant support of the community. The Fayette County 4-H program is dedicated to providing youth (grades one through 12) opportunities to learn leadership, citizenship, and life skills.
Youth are given a chance to “learn by doing” through project work, classes, workshops, judging events, camps and other learning activities. 4-H participants can share the skills and knowledge they’ve gained through county, district, state and national competitive events and, when elected, to serve on county, district and state governing boards. These programs and the growth they provide to local youth are possible through the generosity of our community.
The Fayette County 4-H program hosted a variety of fundraising events in the past year, including a Winter Ball, the “$4 for 4-H” campaign, delicious summer camp bake-offs, participation in Tractor Supply Company’s Paper Clover program, and a presence at Cresswind Cares.
For the past three years, Fayette County has held the highest number of donors in the state for the “$4 for 4-H” campaign, held annually on April 4. 112 supporters contributed to this initiative this year.
Fayette County 4-H program awarded over $3,400 in scholarships to Fayette County youth in 2024, allowing them to attend Georgia 4-H summer camps and experience all the positive growth opportunities they offer.
“We are incredibly grateful to our dedicated volunteers, the generous citizens of Fayette County, and the supportive businesses that have stood by our program year after year. Your love and commitment to our youth truly warm my heart,” Cara Rhoad, Fayette County 4-H Agent said.
The Fayette County 4-H program is ready for another exciting year of events. Be sure to mark your calendars for the Winter Ball, the Camp Scholarship Bake-Off, Cresswind Cares, and the 4-H Golf Tournament returning in Fall 2025. For these and other events, please visit: https://shorturl.at/Ln2Lh
