4-H

If you are 6 to 21 years of age as of January 1, 2024, you can become a 4-H member. The 4-H program provides you the opportunity to grow by developing self-confidence, responsibility and leadership skills. When you join 4-H, you have many opportunities open up for you. You become part of a local club with other 4-H members and volunteer adult leaders. 4-H clubs hold regular meetings to learn about a 4-H topic. The 4-H program has a variety of different 4-H projects to choose. To start a 4-H club or become a 4-H member or leader visit the 4-H Ontario website.
