4-Hers have learned about sustainability through Proud to Bee a 4-Her, Dig into Soil and Food for Thought. Now they can put that knowledge to work through the AgriFood Challenge. In partnership with Syngenta, the AgriFood Challenge encourages youth leaders to develop sustainable agriculture and food security solutions that will make an impact in their communities. There are 15 cash prizes of $500 each to be won (max $1,000 per club). For more information, visit https://bit.ly/3UdWfIy.

Welcome to the 2024-25 4-H year! We have a few new changes for the upcoming year. We have spent the summer working with Staples Canada on the new online ordering process for project manuals and a variety of 4-H supplies. Our provincial counterparts have seen great success with the Staples Print On Demand program and we are pleased to also be partnering with Staples Canada, striving to become more environmentally friendly and reduce printing/shipping costs. The rollout of our online project platform, 4-H ConnectED, will take place over the next couple of months. Our membership fee has risen to $85 and will increase by $5 annually for the next three years. Your Club Support Coordinators will be reviewing all of this and more during Reorganization meetings in September and October.
