ATLANTA — The Georgia Capitol building turned shades of green as 4-H members and adult leaders joined elected officials recently for the largest Georgia 4-H Day at the Capitol on record with nearly 700 attendees. Outstanding 4-Hers from counties across the state, including Dougherty, gathered to engage with their legislators, observe leadership in action, and learn about the civic process.
Civic engagement is one of three focus areas that Georgia 4-H emphasizes to youth through in-school programming, after-school activities, project work and camps. A special partnership with Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation and the Georgia 4-H Foundation makes it possible for hundreds of Georgia 4-Hers to “learn by doing” with a visit to the State Capitol in Atlanta to experience the civic process in real time.
