4-H CANADA MEMBERS FORUM
Developed in 1931, this hallmark program
rotates annually between host locations.
With a different leadership development
theme each year, delegates also visit a
local agricultural event, such as the Royal
Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto, or
Regina’s Canadian Western Agribition.
Through experiential learning, workshops
and interactive site tours, delegates
develop a deeper awareness, knowledge
and understanding of the program theme.
They return home equipped to apply new
knowledge and skills to club projects in their
home communities.

COUNSELLOR
In Training
The Counsellor In Training (CIT) program
gives our 4-H senior members, ages 15 to 20,
a chance to develop the knowledge and skills
needed to become a summer
camp counsellor.
The CIT program consists of the program
participants learning about the upcoming
programming for the summer, including an
overview of the theme and the activities and
challenges that will be held at the various
camps. Counsellors learn about our skill
sessions and acquire the knowledge on how
to instruct and lead these sessions.
Successful participants of the CIT program
will be placed at one or more camping
programs, regionally and/or provincially, and
will be responsible for teaching, supervising,
and caring for camp participants.

LEADER
In Training
The Leader in Training (LIT) program is
an exciting four-day program for senior
members who are ready to take the next step
in regards to leadership, responsibility, and
learning about programming.
LIT provides 4-H members the skills
necessary to program plan, to implement
programming effectively, and to learn
more in-depth information on behavior
management, risk management, counselling
and teaching techniques, communication,
and leadership.
Graduates of the LIT program will then work
directly with the Camp Directors during
a camp program where they will have the
opportunity to plan a portion of the program,
to implement the programming and to act
as an assistant to the Camp Directors by
getting hands-on experience in overseeing
the day-to-day activities of the camp.
