Wellington 4-H is a non-profit positive youth development organization that, as part of 4-H Ontario and the global 4-H movement, has been working to build youth as leaders within our community and assets to the world for over a century. Building on our rural roots, today. Wellington 4-H is open to all youth, of all backgrounds. In 4-H, youth ages 6-21 and screened, engaged volunteer leaders come together to learn about selected topics through fun hands-on activities and mentorship. There are also provincial camps, conferences, competitions and national and international travel opportunities available to further develop skills in leadership, business, self-confidence and more. 4-H provides youth with a place they can be involved, accepted, valued and heard while developing valuable leadership and life skills. Come see what 4-H is all about in Wellington County and join the best kept secret for developing youth and leadership skills!
