Membership at a national level means you become a Governing Member of 4-H Canada.
Governing Members play a critical role in 4-H Canada.
As a Governing Member you get to directly support the strategic direction and advancement of 4-H in Canada to ensure we continue to empower youth to Learn To Do By Doing.
