And the excitement a fair will bring
So every year about this time
I enjoy them with their festive ring

4-H in Ontario is dedicated to the personal development of youth while providing a positive impact on volunteers and communities in Ontario. 4-H members are encouraged to develop self-confidence, a sense of responsibility and a positive self-image in a safe and encouraging environment; helped to develop their skills in communications, leadership, problem solving and goal setting; and offered the opportunity to learn about almost everything through club projects. Specific knowledge and skills are learned through projects that cover topics such as arts and culture, technology and science, livestock and agriculture, financial management, food preparation and nutrition, recreational activities, career and self-esteem development.

The Cloverbud program is an opportunity for youth ages 6 - 8 to learn about all facets of 4-H Ontario projects. Cloverbud Program is hands-on, activity-based program that covers a wide variety of topics, including agricultural, food, crafts, life-skills, environment and science. By participation in the Cloverbud program, participants are able to get a taste for the topics covered in 4-H projects while developing an understanding of 4-H values.
