Leaders must be fully screened and approved by the Provincial Office before they are able to act as a leader/volunteer.  

All 4-H leaders must complete the required online training modules. These can be accessed on 4-H LEARNS (www.4-h-learns.org). You will require an account.

• We want to ensure that 4-H leaders are familiar with the new Youth Safety at 4-H in Canada policies, and they understand their role and specific responsibilities in delivering safe programming that meets youth industry best standards.After completing the training, 4-H volunteers should be able to:
  • Identify the policies outlined in the Youth Safety at 4-H in Canada document

  Youth Safety Training was new in 2020-21. To roll in this requirement, each club was require at least two leaders to complete it. Now, all new and renewing volunteers will be required to complete it as it is mandatory to be register as a 4-H leader.

  This course will be offered through Zoom by the executive director. All leaders that need to take this training will be contacted with a Zoom link invite.
