FALL & WINTER 2019/20 4-H 4-H HAS AN UPDATED PLEDGE! By: 4-H Canada Staff Following 4-H Canada’s Annual General Meeting on July 11, 2019, the 4-H Pledge was updated to include ‘…and my world’ at the end. 4-H in Canada’s footprint is no longer limited by geography and our programs and the interests of our members reach well beyond our borders. It is something 4-H youth who attended the 2017 Global 4-H Network Summit know from firsthand experience, as they met with other 4-H members from around the world and felt an increased sense of belonging to a global community of more than seven million youth involved in 4-H in over 70 countries. They immediately proposed to align their Pledge in solidarity, so that their fellow members across the country could pledge a similar promise as their counterparts around the world every day. The 4-H Pledge has been a symbol of 4-H in Canada for generations and hundreds of thousands of members have recited these words millions of times. It represents a 4-H movement that is proud of its heritage and knows the importance of its legacy, while embracing change in a determined, passionate and global-minded way. We look forward to the day when youth will translate the words into gesture, as they spread their arms further apart to acknowledge their club, their community, their country and the world they live in.

4-H ALBERTA MAGAZINE // 4H.AB.CA HOW IS 4-H IMPACTING YOU? By: 4-H Canada Staff How do you feel the 4-H program has changed you as a 4-H member? What assets do you think you have gained from the experience? What are your thoughts on the activities and experiences in your provinces? 4-H Canada wants to hear from you. We’ve been working closely with the Search Institute – a U.S.-based organization that studies and works to strengthen youth success in schools, youth programs, families, and communities – to customize its Youth and Program Strengths Survey, so that it is specifically tailored to 4-H members across Canada. Measuring the impact of 4-H is essential to improving our programs, ensuring relevancy for youth members, and demonstrating the effectiveness and quality of our programs. By asking youth how they feel about the 4-H program, this study will help us further articulate the work we do as a leading Positive Youth Development (PYD) organization, and make the necessary adjustments to continue to deliver worldclass programs to 4-H youth in Canada. The survey runs until January 31, 2020. Custom links have been provided to each provincial 4-H association. WHAT IS 4-H CANADA’S POSITIVE YOUTH DEVELOPMENT FORMULA? In 2014, 4-H Canada began to articulate its Positive Youth Development (PYD) vision. PYD is a globally-recognized and heavily-researched approach to working with children and youth that is strengths-based and focuses on building assets in youth. Within this approach, there are 40 developmental assets that young people can build and develop, depending on a variety of internal and external factors. Out of all 40 assets, 4-H Canada has identified six that best fit with the programming and experiences offered across Canada. 4-H Canada’s Positive Youth Development Formula focuses on measuring these six assets that lead to the development of responsible, caring and contributing youth: 1. Positive Values 2. Responsibility 3. Skill Mastery 4. Leadership Development 5. Planning and Decision-making 6. Sense of Purpose In addition, 4-H Canada’s programming has three core “Essential Elements” in place, that help to ensure that PYD outcomes can be achieved: 1. A safe, fun, inclusive environment 2. Youth members are supported by caring adults 3. Programming is based on experiential learning or the Learn to Do by Doing motto The 4-H Section of the Government of Alberta, the 4-H Council of Alberta, and the 4-H Foundation of Alberta are working closely with 4-H Canada to create awareness of the PYD model and outcomes in Alberta. They are also building 4-H programs in Alberta that align with and support these outcomes. • 5
