Ottawa, ON, April 11, 2022 \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0Since launching in 2020, the 4-H at Home Outreach Initiatives have empowered over 5,900 youth to enjoy hands-on activities any time, from anywhere, while making meaningful contributions to their communities, country, and the world.<\/p>\n

4-H at Home<\/a>\u00a0features a variety of Outreach Initiatives \u2013 which were originally offered to 4-H members and clubs as a way to get outside and explore their communities through engaging, hands-on activities. 4-H at Home came to life with the goal of expanding access to the Outreach Initiatives by making them available not only to the 4-H community, but to all families and educational organizations across the country to enjoy in group settings, or from the comfort of home.<\/p>\n

The four main Outreach Initiatives offered for 2022 provide youth with the chance to explore the\u00a0United Nations\u2019 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs),<\/a>\u00a0a set of 17 goals that encourage global citizens of all ages to help address critical issues like poverty, health, education, and the environment.<\/p>\n

As one of 4-H Canada\u2019s longest-running Outreach Initiatives, Proud to Bee a 4-H\u2019er explores SDG 15 \u2013 Life on Land. Centred on planting a pollinator-friendly garden, this initiative allows youth to spend time in nature, while discovering the vital role pollinators play in creating a sustainable food supply, and supporting healthy ecosystems within their communities.<\/p>\n

Dig into Soil<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Presented by Syngenta Canada<\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n

Dig into Soil provides hands-on learning experiences for youth to discover how healthy soils contribute to addressing climate change. Tied to both SDG 13 \u2013 Climate Action and SDG 15 \u2013 Life on Land, this initiative empowers youth to champion soil conservation activities in their own communities.<\/p>\n

Powered Up!<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0–\u00a0Presented by Cargill, The Coca-Cola Foundation, Corteva Agriscience, and Desjardins<\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n

Recently launched, Powered Up! allows youth to explore alternative energy sources while becoming energy champions in their own communities, and supporting SDG 7 \u2013 Affordable and Clean Energy. The Activity Book & Kit feature fun-filled activities to enjoy along the way, including making S\u2019mores using the power of the sun.<\/p>\n

Making a Splash<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Presented by Cargill, and supported by Corteva Agriscience and Desjardins<\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n

Also new for 2022, Making a Splash relates to SDG 14 \u2013 Life Below Water, and guides youth through experiential activities to discover their personal role in supporting healthy water ecosystems. Participants learn the importance of making healthy choices, developing sustainable solutions, and exploring positive ways to make environmental impacts.<\/p>\n

The 4-H at Home Outreach Initiatives are available to all, and can be downloaded free of charge at\u00a04-h-canada.ca\/4-h-at-home<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201c4-H at Home came to life near the start of the pandemic with the goal of allowing 4-H members to stay engaged and continue learning to do by doing from the comfort and safety of home,\u201d said 4-H Canada CEO, Shannon Benner. \u201cHowever, the pandemic has proved that youth need 4-H now more than ever, and we are proud that with the support of our Outreach Initiative partners, this program has grown to include families and organizations across the country. Not only has 4-H at Home introduced the 4-H movement in Canada to a whole new demographic, it has sparked inspiration in youth and adults alike to become global citizens by actively contributing to the United Nations\u2019 SDGs.\u201d<\/p>\n
