4 H clubs operate throughout Canada and within each province. It is an organization made up of rural people who have set up programs for their youth, from 6 to 21 years of age. They offer leadership training, care of livestock, education, and health training, along with practical hands-on applications of what they have learned. Most urban people are aware of 4 H clubs that specialize in the showing and grooming of livestock. However, in more recent years many more programs have been added to the 4 H portfolio.
