Welcome to the 2025–2026 4-H Year!

We’re excited to kick off another year of learning, leadership, and community with 4-H Manitoba! This year promises plenty of opportunities to build new skills, make connections, and — of course — have fun.

You’ll notice a fresh new look for our newsletter, now called Clover Connections. Each month, we’ll bring you updates on upcoming events, helpful resources, and highlights from across our 4-H family. We’d also love to showcase your stories — if you have photos, achievements, or special moments to share, please send them to Leslie at lbryde@4h.mb.ca.

Our Provincial Events calendar has shifted slightly, so be sure to keep an eye on the Clover Connections and visit www.4h.mb.ca for registration details and deadlines.

We are grateful to our members and leaders for making 4-H part of your year. Membership fees are now $90/member, but with that comes access to incredible learning experiences. We encourage you to dive into one — or more — projects and discover all that 4-H has to offer.

Here’s to another amazing year together in 4-H! 🌱

Sponsor Spotlight – Bunge + Viterra: Growing Together with 4-H Manitoba

With a rich history of supporting farmers, communities, and 4-H, Bunge shared the following update:

“We were pleased to announce the completion of the Bunge and Viterra combination, which officially closed on July 2. The new combined Bunge has been helping farmers feed the world for over 200 years. We are passionate about agriculture and the communities who support this great industry.

 We are proud to work with organizations such as 4-H Manitoba to help students across the province learn about, connect to and celebrate agriculture in their communities.

Bunge is a proud major sponsor of the annual 4-H Manitoba Provincial Rally and the title sponsor of the 4-H Manitoba Provincial Judging Team.”

We are grateful for Bunge’s continued support of our members and programs, helping us provide meaningful opportunities for youth to learn, grow, and thrive through 4-H.
