CO-OP GROWING LEADERS PROGRAM

Growing Leaders. Building Communities.

For the second year in a row, the Co-op Growing Leaders program is helping remove barriers for youth by covering membership fees for new and second-year 4-H members.

Together, Alberta Co-ops have committed $50,000 at the Gold Clover Sponsorship level for the 2025–2026 year. That means more young people across the province will get the chance to learn, grow, and lead. Over the past four years, 650+ youth have already been supported through this initiative.

What’s Covered

• First-year members: Up to $200 (provincial + local club fees)
• Second-year members: Up to $100 toward membership fees
• Open to all age levels — from Cleavers to Seniors
• Available to anyone who hasn’t previously been involved with 4-H Alberta (first-year Cleaver Kids are welcome!)

Application Guidelines

• You must live in one of the 16 participating Alberta Co-op trading areas.
• You must be a new or second-year Co-op Growing Leader member with 4-H Alberta.
• Please indicate the name of the Club you wish to join and provide the name and contact information of the General Leader of that Club in your application.
