The 4-H PEI program is anchored by the dedicated volunteers guiding our members bringing enthusiasm, knowledge, skills and energy to our program year after year.

You do not need to be an 'expert' to be a 4-H Volunteer or Project Leader; you only need enthusiasm and a desire to make a positive impact in a child's life. Parents, caregivers and community members all play a critical role in volunteering with the program to support our members.

There are more than 280 volunteer 4-H leaders in Prince Edward Island sharing their time and talents to help members "Learn to do by Doing."

4-H Leaders advise and support club members in developing and strengthening skills that encourage our youth grow and become effective leaders in their communities.
