Creating experiential learning opportunities that ensure a safe, fun and inclusive environment!
The Club to Club Exchange offers youth the opportunity to explore new communities and deepen their understanding of Canada through hands-on learning about the country’s rich history, diverse geography, industries, institutions, cultures, languages, and more.
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.

- When: July – August 2026 (exact dates chosen by participating clubs)
Who Can Participate?
Youth between the ages of 12 and 17 can participate, along with two adult chaperones per group. Each participating club must include 10 youth and 2 adult chaperones. One club from each province will be selected, for a total of up to 10 clubs. In 2026, a total of five exchanges will take place.
Cost to Participate:
- Air travel will be covered by 4-H Canada
- A registration fee of $300 per youth and chaperone will be payable to 4-H Canada upon selection
