4-H Structure and Governance
4-H is an international movement. Members and volunteers have the opportunity to take part in activities at the local, provincial and national level.
Local 4-H Clubs
4-H clubs organize local activities, including social, fundraising and community events. They select officers and hold regular meetings throughout the year.
To start a new club, all you need is at least two families and one adult volunteer. For more information, contact a 4-H leader in your community or Manitoba 4-H Council www.4h.mb.ca.
Local clubs in this province are guided by the Manitoba 4-H Council.
Manitoba 4-H Council
The Manitoba 4-H Council co-ordinates province-wide programming, and invites participation in policy development and decision-making.
The Council manages the funds collected through 4-H club donations and sponsorship. Operating procedures are based on the Manitoba 4-H Council Constitution.
The Council was formed in 1951 and has a strong partnership with Manitoba Agriculture.
Canadian 4-H Council
The Canadian 4-H Council oversees 4-H in Canada. Youth have the opportunity to expand their 4-H experience through national and international conferences, exchanges, scholarships and grants.
The Council is a not-for-profit, non-governmental agency governed by a group of individuals representing sponsoring organizations. An elected board of directors governs the Council.
