4-H Ontario becomes an accredited 4-H organization

We are proud to announce that as of June 1st, 2021, 4-H Ontario has received its official status as an Accredited 4-H Organization in Canada. This could not have been achieved without the contributions from numerous individuals across our organization, as well as the dedication of our volunteers in adopting new and updated processes. Thank you to everyone who supported this process and made this possible.

The new accreditation model for 4-H in Canada demonstrates a commitment across Canada to a best-in-class culture as a world-class positive youth development organization. Through shared national standards, 4-H in Canada is empowered to consistently achieve high levels of competency and rigour in our governance, risk management, operations, brand, and programs.
