4-H Changed My Life

4-H gave me the confidence to speak in front of crowds, lead a team, and pursue my dream of studying agriculture at university. I wouldn’t be where I am today without it.

Sarah K.

As a leader, watching youth grow from shy first-year members into confident, capable young adults is the most rewarding experience of my life. 4-H is a gift to rural Alberta.
