(Westerose, Alta) Today, 4-H Alberta is pleased to announce that we will continue the strong partnership with Federated Co-operatives Limited (FCL) and a growing group of local Alberta Co-ops in support of our organization and the invaluable programming that we bring to young people each year.<\/p>\n

4-H Alberta is thrilled to receive another $50,000 sponsorship investment this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

The key component of this partnership is the <\/span>CO-OP Growing Leaders Program<\/span><\/i>. 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. During the inaugural rollout in the 2023\/ 2024 club year, 209 members joined through the <\/span>CO-OP Growing Leaders Program<\/span><\/i>!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe were thrilled to see so much success during the <\/span>CO-OP Growing Leaders Program\u2019s<\/span><\/i> pilot year and are proud to continue this partnership. This \u2018out of the box\u2019 initiative has helped 209 new members experience the 4-H Alberta youth program, giving them an opportunity to grow their leadership and life skills, make lifelong friends, and have a lot of fun in the process. We appreciate FCL and the growing number of participating Co-ops; they are like-minded community partners who value and support Alberta’s youth as much as we do,\u201d said Kurt Kinnear, CEO of 4-H Alberta. \u201cFederated Co<\/span>\u2011<\/span>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.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

This generous investment and support will continue to position FCL and 13 Alberta Co-ops as one of 4-H Alberta\u2019s top funders in the Gold Clover sponsorship category, with the following Co-ops participating in the <\/span>CO-OP Growing Leaders Program<\/span><\/i>:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are committed to supporting people and places across our Co-operative Retailing System and across Western Canada,\u201d said Ron Healey, FCL Vice President, Energy & Ag. \u201cOur partnership with 4-H Alberta will build on that commitment as we work together to provide local youth with new opportunities that will ultimately lead to exciting and positive life experiences.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In a striking demonstration of innovation in science and technology, Mac Dykeman, a 4-H Canada Science Fair finalist from Langley, BC, took home two awards at the renowned 2023 Canada-Wide Science Fair. The fair took place at the Edmonton Convention Centre in Edmonton, Alberta. Dykeman’s project, titled ‘An Innovative Approach to Ammonia in Poultry Operations’, proposed the use of Prussian Blue or Prussian Blue + Biochar as bedding additives in poultry operations for ammonia adsorption. Her exceptional work in this project earned her the Bronze Senior Excellence Award and the Senior Technology in Agriculture Award, complete with a $1000 cash prize.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[94,3,4],"tags":[61,62,65,58,77,83,71,112,74],"class_list":["post-201945","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-community-post","category-news-articles","category-press-releases","tag-4hab","tag-4habalumni","tag-4habcommunity","tag-4halberta","tag-4halbertaambassadors","tag-4hcanada","tag-agriculture","tag-fcl","tag-westerose"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n4-H Alberta Expands Partnership with Federated Co-operatives Limited and Local Alberta Co-ops to grow the CO-OP Growing Leaders Program - 4-H Alberta<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Explore the remarkable achievement of Mac Dykeman, a 4-H Canada Science Fair finalist, who bagged two prestigious awards at the 2023 Canada-Wide Science Fair.
