About 4-H Canada Leadership Summit
4-H Canada’s Leadership Summit is an opportunity for 4-H volunteer leaders, professionals and the 4-H Canada Youth Advisory Committee to come together and showcase the communities they are building, share innovative program ideas and hear from experts on emerging topics.
You will return home from the Leadership Summit feeling:
- Valued, as we celebrate volunteer achievements;
- Connected, as we share successes and challenges, and you expand your network within the 4-H movement;
- Supported, as we share new resources and bring in experts to engage you in thinking about new approaches and best practices in positive youth development; and
- Equipped, with new tools, skills, and ideas to take back to your club and share with youth
Topics that will be covered include: Program Excellence, Leadership Excellence and Professional Development.
