4-H Manitoba dedicates numerous volunteer hours to grow leadership skills and agricultural knowledge throughout the province.

These efforts were recently recognized by Agriculture Minister Ron Kostyshyn at the Royal Manitoba Winter Fair, complementing both the long history and dedication of the program.

4-H has existed since 1913, and it was founded in Roland, Manitoba. It started receiving provincial funding in the early 1920s and has continued to be a strong symbol of education and leadership in the agricultural world.

According to Minister Kostyshyn, The Manitoba government has provided $900,000 over three years starting in 2022 to the Manitoba 4-H Council to deliver programming across the province to over 100 4-H clubs for more than 1,000 members.
