In partnership with Fulton County and UGA’s Cooperative Extension, Atlanta History Center established a 4-H and UGA Extension office for the Buckhead community.
Each year, on 4-H day, we highlight Georgia 4-H and our partnership with UGA Cooperative Extension Service.
The office provides assistance in agriculture and environmental science, family and consumer science, and youth development to everyone in the local area.
Atlanta History Center’s own 4-H Community Club is a free youth program for children in grades K through 12. Open to all youth who live in or go to school in Fulton County, the club meets once a month for community service, learning, and fun.
Georgia 4-H is the youth component of UGA Extension, which is part of the University of Georgia. It is directed by the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and is provided as a public service by the office of Cooperative Extension.
Gardening Questions
In addition to 4-H, the Extension office offers lifelong learning, especially related to gardening and agriculture. Examples include the Master Gardener Volunteer Program as well as Environmental Stewardship, Home Food Production, Gardening with Youth, Value of Landscapes, and Health Benefits of Gardening.
