4-H Alberta Expands Partnership with Federated Co-operatives Limited

4-H Alberta is pleased to announce that we will continue the strong partnership with Federated Co-operatives Limited (FCL) and a growing group of local Alberta Co-ops in support of our organization and the invaluable programming that we bring to young people each year.

4-H Alberta is thrilled to receive another $50,000 sponsorship investment this year. The key component of this partnership is the CO-OP Growing Leaders Program. The innovative and ground-breaking program is designed to remove barriers and provide easy access for youth who may have been curious about 4-H Alberta, but have never enrolled in a local club.

During the inaugural rollout in the 2023/ 2024 club year, 209 members joined through the CO-OP Growing Leaders Program! “We were thrilled to see so much success during the CO-OP Growing Leaders Program’s pilot year and are proud to continue this partnership. This ‘out of the box’ initiative has helped 209 new members experience the 4-H Alberta youth program, giving them an opportunity to grow their leadership and life skills, make lifelong friends, and have a lot of fun in the process. We appreciate FCL and the growing number of participating Co-ops; they are like-minded community partners who value and support Alberta's youth as much as we do,” said Kurt Kinnear, CEO of 4-H Alberta. “Federated Co‑operatives Ltd. and the participating Co-ops understand and appreciate the importance of our young members who will become the future leaders in our communities.”
