What is 4-H?
4-H is one of Canada’s longest-running
youth organizations for young people
between the ages of 8 and 21. Since 1913,
4-H has given youth opportunities to learn
new things through a dedicated group of
volunteer leaders. 4-H youth learn the skills
needed to contribute to making this a better
world. Many of them go on to become leaders in their communities.
4-H in the Area
The North Simcoe 4-H provides an opportunity for youth to develop skills and
knowledge about a variety of topics. Projects range from various animal
(beef, dairy, horse and goat) to life skills (cooking, sewing and crafts). The
club members also choose their own projects.
For information, please call North Simcoe 4-H President, Kevin Moore 705487-5505
The Benefits
There are so many projects you can choose from. Make new friends. See a
world outside your own doors. Locally, 4-H gives back to the community and
creates community leaders. Provincially, there are opportunities for
conferences, camps and scholarships. Nationally, 4-H members have the
opportunity to see different parts of Canada and the world, apply for
scholarships and participate in some of the country’s longest-running youth
conferences.
