Governing Membership
Governing Members directly support the strategic direction and advancement of 4-H in Canada to ensure we continue to empower youth to Learn To Do By Doing.
Important: Governing Membership is different from youth membership and enrollment. To join a community-based 4-H club, please visit our Find a Club page.
What is a Governing Member?
Our Governing Membership body is a community of respected industry leaders, comprised of individuals 18+ and organizations. Together, they support the strategic direction of the 4-H movement, select the 4-H Canada Board of directors, and vote in the Annual General Meeting.
Governing Members play a critical role in the direction and oversight of 4-H Canada.
