FCC 4-H Club Fund applications now open!

4-H Canada and Farm Credit Canada (FCC) are pleased to provide a new year of the FCC 4-H Club Fund for 2021-2022. These funds are available to all 4-H clubs, districts, and regions across Canada.
 
The support from the Club Fund can go towards developing existing programs, covering the costs associated with local events and exchanges, supporting volunteers, or purchasing various resource materials. Together with FCC, we are supporting the development of responsible, caring, and contributing youth leaders across Canada.
 
Applications for 2021-2022 opened August 1 and close October 31, 2021. Read the application guidelines and apply here.

Though we are in the midst of summer, August is the ideal time for Clubs to start recruiting members and leaders for the upcoming 4-H year. Let us help you spread the word! We are asking that Overall Leaders who have not yet sent club details and information to our Summer Student, Megan, to do so ASAP... we are already getting inquiries from potential new members! Please send information to: pei4hoffice@gmail.com 
 
Reorganization packages are being prepared at the 
Provincial Office this week. 
The packages will be ready next week for pick up, 
or alternate plans can be made with your 4-H Specialist.

Annual General Meetings will be here before we know it! A kind reminder to the Regional Presidents, Regional Treasurers and Club Reporters that 4-H Specialists will be seeking reports in the coming weeks.  

Two new webinars are happening next week that you don’t want to miss out on. With Leaders Learn webinars, you can gain new tools to support youth. Webinars are available for volunteer leaders and 4-H professionals at no cost.
