$4 for 4-H: April 1-4, 2026

In a friendly competition with other Georgia counties, Newton County 4-H asks supporters to make donations of $4 or more between April 1-4 during the “$4 for 4-H” giving initiative. This annual tradition raises money to directly fund county 4-H programming through the Georgia 4-H Foundation.

Our 2026 Newton County 4‑H goal is BIG! We’re aiming to raise $4 from 444 donors! And when we hit that goal, we’ll have raised $1,776!

Citizenship is a core pillar of Georgia 4‑H, and 1776 marks the year America was founded. This year, our nation celebrates its 250th birthday, and what better way to honor that milestone than by rallying our community to support the future leaders of America by donating to Newton County 4‑H?

Those interested in donating can find the giving form at www.georgia4h.org/four. The form includes a field to designate gifts to a specific Georgia county, district, or 4-H center. To make sure your donation benefits local 4-H’ers, select Newton County while donating.

Join the celebration, spark some patriotism, and help us reach 444 donors!

4-H Homeschool Council (Grades PreK-12)

The Newton County 4-H Homeschool Council is a dynamic group of homeschool youth who meet monthly. Whether you're new to 4-H or a returning member, the Homeschool Council is a great way to get involved, make friends, and grow! We look forward to seeing you at the April Homeschool Council meeting!

This will be our final meeting of the school year. Can you believe summer is almost here? We’re wrapping things up with a fun Field Day event, and we can’t wait to see everyone jump in and enjoy a great morning of activities and excitement. We’ll finish with a family‑style picnic, so bring food for your family and plan to hang out with us!
