2023-2024 Annual Report

Executive Letter
Throughout the history of 4-H in Canada there have been several constants – exceptional youth programming and extraordinary youth members, strong community support from parents, volunteers, and the broader agricultural community. And change.
Movements such as 4-H don’t go the distance without encountering change. In fact, throughout our 111-year history, we have constantly evolved. Our members ‘age out’ of our programming and younger members join, our volunteers come and go (though many of our volunteers last a lifetime!), and our programs change to reflect the world around us and the interests of our members.
This past year, however, we encountered more than just the normal amount of change.
Across the country we welcomed new members, new volunteers, and a full-scale return to post-pandemic, in-person participation. Nationally, we saw our engagement numbers grow substantially, and we launched new resources and outreach initiatives that diversify the areas of exploration open to the national 4-H community.
At the same time, we also experienced some challenges. As an organization, we arrived at a crossroads when we learned of substantive and unanticipated changes to the financial support from a major funder within weeks of learning that our CEO for the previous decade was moving on.
These changes have given our board of directors an opportunity to contemplate what the future of 4-H Canada, and 4-H in Canada, should look like and what it will take to get us there so that we do, indeed, grow stronger through change.
Thank you for your interest in 4-H in Canada..

“Becoming a YAC member has opened up a world of opportunities for both
personal growth and collaboration. Working alongside other YAC members, we've not only
enhanced our own skills but also made concrete improvements to the 4-H program, ensuring its
continued success for all members, present and future.” – Katie MacNeil
“Being on the YAC has immensely improved my self-confidence in both
personal and professional settings. Having the ability to network, form connections and
present yourself in a positive, capable manner can open so many doors for future
opportunities, and something I have truly benefited from learning during my time with the
Youth Advisory Committee.” – Kayla Emmerton

Show Your 4-H Colours Day
November 1, 2023- Every November since 2007, 4-H members, leaders, alumni, and supporters alike don their 4-H green and come together to spread awareness of 4-H and support the positive impacts the 4-H program is making in Canada and abroad. This celebration highlights the incredible things 4-H youth are doing in their communities and how the 4-H program is creating responsible, caring, and contributing young leaders.
- In addition to our awareness campaign, we fundraised to help grow the future of 4-H in Canada by selling a limited-edition ‘Making A Difference Since 1913’ T-shirt. $5 from each T-shirt sold was given back to the 4-H organization in the province of each purchase, with the remaining proceeds were invested in the Canadian 4-H Foundation. Light-up bracelets were also sold to encourage participants to match one of 51 landmarks illuminated in green from coast-to-coast!
