Recipients of the 2025 FCC 4-H Club Fund have been announced and several are from central Alberta.

 “FCC’s long-standing partnership with 4-H Canada plays an important role in strengthening local clubs and the volunteers who lead them,” said 4-H Canada CEO Christina Franc, in a news release this week. “Through the FCC 4-H Club Fund, volunteers are better equipped to create engaging, safe, and inclusive spaces where young people can build confidence, leadership skills, and a strong connection to agriculture and their communities.”

In 2025, a total of 42 clubs in Alberta have received grants of up to $500, helping to offset program costs, support club activities, and enhance learning opportunities for 4-H members nationwide.

“Supporting youth at the community level is essential to building a strong and sustainable future for Canadian agriculture,” said Todd Klink, chief purpose officer at FCC. “Through the FCC 4-H Club Fund, we’re helping local clubs deliver hands-on learning experiences that build leadership, confidence, and practical skills young people will carry with them into the future.”
