Welcome to Harnett County 4-H

4-H is a Youth Development Program that focuses on a wide variety of opportunities to grow. Our goal is holistic youth development exemplified in the 4 “H”s at the beginning of our pledge: “I pledge my Head to clearer thinking, my Heart to greater loyalty, my Hands to larger service, and my Health to better living…”  We do this in a variety of ways and with several programs. Below you will find links on how to enroll in 4-H, Clubs in the area, and the calendar of activities. Please let us know if you need any more information by contacting your Harnett County 4-H Agents, Jackie Helton, at jlhelton@ncsu.edu or 910-814-6027 and Gabbie Buchanan at gabuchanan@ncat.edu or 919-814-6026.
