4-H FCS

Do you have a 4th through 12th grader who is interested in cooking, health, family, money management, and more?

We offer multiple programs for our Sevier County youth. These programs provide teens and young adults with the opportunity to learn life skills like those you might have in your home economics class.

If you have any questions or would like to sign up your child, please contact the FCS Agent, Kaysie Adkins (kadkin17@utk.edu), or the 4-H Agent, Sami Albright (salbrig4@utk.edu).

You can also contact our office by calling 865-453-3695.


Afterschool Programs

Does your child want to learn about food, family, health, money, and design?

Well, if they are in grades 4th through 12th, they are eligible to join our 4-H FCS Club.

We meet once a month to do fun activities that teach them life skills.

The image below illustrates the events planned for the 2025 to 2026 school year.

If interested, please call our office at 865-453-3695.


Have you ever made your piggy bank before?

If you have a child in Pre-K to 12th grade, they are eligible to compete in the piggy bank pageant.

We will be partnering with the libraries, Tennessee State Bank, and Keep Sevier Beautiful to promote positive life skills related to budgeting and saving money with your children.
