Chartering a Club
County 4-H programs receive a charter for the county program. This charter enables counties to use the 4-H Name and Emblem and is a key operational document in the collection of funds. For those programs within a county that are not led and directed by a county Extension staff member, the 4-H club should receive an auxiliary charter indicating that the club is approved and supported by the county Extension program and operating in full compliance with all UGA College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences Extension 4-H guidelines.
Chartering is a joint effort of the 4-H club leader and the Extension staff member working with or serving as liaison with the club. Each club with the county Extension office will complete the charter checklist and submit application and supporting documentation in 4-H Enrollment prior to the first club meeting. Clubs should renew charters each year in 4-H Enrollment.
The University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (working cooperatively with Fort Valley State University, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the counties of Georgia) offers its educational programs, assistance, and materials to all people without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation or protected veteran status and is an Equal Opportunity, Affirmative Action organization.
