Today 4-H Alberta is pleased to announce that it has received a $50,000 sponsorship from Federated Co-operatives Limited (FCL) and a group of local Alberta Co-ops in support of our organization and the invaluable programming that we bring to young people each year.
A key component of our new partnership will be the creation of the inaugural CO-OP Growing Leaders Program. The innovative and ground-breaking program is designed to remove barriers and provide easy access for youth who may have been curious about 4-H Alberta, but have never enrolled in a local club. Each year, 4-H Alberta supports 5,500 youth who participate in close to 300 clubs across our province.
“We are extremely excited about all the possibilities that come with this new partnership and the opportunity to work with a like-minded community partner who values and supports Alberta’s youth as much as we do. What a great way to facilitate the engagement and empowerment of youth in Alberta,” said Kurt Kinnear, CEO of 4-H Alberta. “Federated Co‑operatives Ltd. and the participating Co-ops understand and appreciate the importance of our young members who will become the future leaders in our communities.”
This generous investment and support will establish FCL and six Alberta Co-ops as one of 4-H Alberta’s top funders in the Gold Clover sponsorship category, with Cornerstone Co-op participating in the CO-OP Growing Leaders Program.
