The mission of Georgia 4-H is to assist youth in acquiring knowledge, developing life skills, and forming attitudes that will enable them to become self-directing, productive, and contributing members of society. 4-H is a program of the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences Cooperative Extension System and is part of the nationwide Extension network. The mission is carried out through hands-on learning experiences, and 4-H club meetings are educational, focusing on science and public speaking skills. 4-H County Council meetings include engaging activities, leadership experiences, and community service opportunities, and activities such as judging teams, camps, and conferences are available for all active 4-H’ers in grades 4–12. 4-H activities are led by Cobb County 4-H staff members and screened UGA volunteers.

UGA Extension agents, staff, and trained volunteers keep local communities informed through county Extension offices. Cobb County 4-H County Council meetings include community service opportunities, and UGA Extension is a collaborative between Georgia county governments, the USDA, and the University of Georgia's colleges of Agricultural & Environmental Sciences and Family & Consumer Sciences.
