Are you a 4-H member who wants to learn something new while you are stuck at home during COVID-19?
Or are you a youth who has never been in 4-H but would like to learn more what it is all about?
4-H British Columbia is offering B.C. youth an opportunity to keep busy while they are staying home by participating in the new 4-H@HOME project, which supports B.C. youth in applying the 4-H motto of “Learn to do by Doing” as they complete hands-on activities related to the 4-H Canada Leadership Development Pillars:
• Community Engagement and Communications
• Environment and Healthy Living
• Science and Technology
• Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security
This project is available at no cost to both 4-H BC members, as well as youth who are not involved in 4-H. Youth can register online to receive the 4-H@Home resource package. Participants will be completing six of the 30 activities in the resource package to earn a 4-H@Home certificate.
“4-H BC is happy to provide the 4-H @ Home learning opportunity for both our members and other B.C. youth,” says 4-H BC Manager, Aleda Welch, “We all must work together during this difficult time to stay connected while maintaining social distancing. 4-H BC is happy to play a part in supporting BC youth to develop skills to become leaders that will have positive impact in their communities.”
