Covington County 4H
4-H is a non-profit organization of boys and girls between the ages of 9 and 19. Our goal is to teach leadership, citizenship, and life skills to youth regardless of race, gender, or religion. Members elect officers and conduct business meetings. Members also participate in a variety of subject areas of their choice to gain the skills neccessary to be successful members of society.
*numbers listed for volunteers, people served, ect is for Covington County only. 4-H is a world-wide program so the overall numbers would be much higher.
ALABAMA 4H VISION
Alabama 4H is an innovative, responsive leader in
developing youth to be productive citizens and leaders in
a complex and dynamic society. Our vision is supported
through the collaborative, committed efforts of
Extension professionals, youth, and volunteers.
ALABAMA 4H MISSION
4H is the youth development component of the Alabama
Cooperative Extension System. 4H helps young people
from rural and urban areas explore their interests and
expand their awareness of our world while providing
opportunities to develop a greater sense of who they are
and who they can become–as contributing citizens of our
communities, our state, our nation, and our world. This
mission is achieved through research based educational
programs of Alabama A&M and Auburn Universities and
an ongoing tradition of applied, hands on/minds on
experiences, which develop the heads, hearts, hands, and
health of Alabama youth.
WHAT IS ALABAMA 4H?
4H is a community of young people across Alabama who
are learning leadership, citizenship, and life skills.
