Help kick off November’s National 4-H Month and wear green on November 2nd. This annual ‘Show Your 4-H Colours’ event is designed to help celebrate the significant role that 4-H has played and continues to play in the development of youth across Canada.
As one of Canada’s longest-running youth organizations, 4-H has played an important role in youth development for over 98 years, offering fun, excitement and learning for youth in large and small communities across Canada. Currently more than 8,600 trained volunteer leaders help over 26,000 4-H members develop self-confidence and learn a wide variety of skills through hands-on project work. Over its 98 year history, 4-H counts hundreds of thousands of 4-H alumni who have gained valuable skills through this important and worthwhile program. Many, in the workforce today across the country and beyond, credit their involvement in 4-H for helping them to succeed and prosper.
On this the ‘eve’ of National 4-H Month in Canada, take the time to show your support for 4-H in Canada. Join the crowd and wear green on November 2, 2011!
