A recent investment in 4-H Alberta is set to provide new opportunities for Alberta’s youth to engage in agriculture. For over a century, 4-H Alberta has helped young people in the province gain valuable agricultural and life skills, offering hands-on learning, fostering leadership, and creating a strong sense of community.
This new funding will help 4-H Alberta bridge the divide between urban and rural youth, as well as develop essential programs focused on safety and mental health.
The governments of Canada and Alberta, through the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership (Sustainable CAP), have committed over $731,000 across five years to support three 4-H Alberta initiatives: the Intro to 4-H program, the Agriculture Safety and Mental Health Workshop, and the Senior Spring Symposium.
