What is the Club to Club Exchange?
The Club to Club Exchange Program is a reciprocal youth exchange that matches 4-H clubs from different Canadian provinces for a shared, immersive experience. It offers a chance for young people to connect across regions, discover Canada’s diversity, and build a stronger sense of national identity — all while having fun and making lifelong friends.
