The P.E.I. 4-H Council recognizes the exceptional work of members, leaders, and clubs throughout the 4-H year. Their creativity, innovation, and community consciousness is what makes 4-H such a respected organization, and the actions of the members, leaders, and clubs as a whole, continue to prove 4-H as being a relative and effective youth leadership organization.

The P.E.I. 4-H Council is grateful for various sponsors, who recognize the importance of acknowledging the outstanding work of our members, and we thank them for their sponsorship of awards that highlight the efforts of island 4-Her’s and clubs.

To apply or nominate someone for an award, fill out an application and return it to the P.E.I. 4-H office by November 15. All awards will be presented at the Annual Awards Banquet, which typically takes place in February.

All award recipients are reminded of the importance of sending a ‘Thank You’ card to the sponsor who made the prize possible. Thank You cards are available at the 4-H Office.

Co-operators/4-H National Volunteer Leader of the Year Award (Apply)

The Co-operators and the Canadian 4-H Council are pleased to offer the annual Co-operators / 4-H National Volunteer Leader of the Year Award. A volunteer leader is selected from each province, and a grand prize winner is selected from that group. Provincial winners will be awarded a certificate, $100 cash prize, plus Co-operators and 4-H merchandise. The Grand Prize is a $1,100 cash award and a trip to the National 4-H Conference in Toronto in November. 

Brookville Lime Community Project Award (Apply)

4-H Clubs have uniquely strong relationship with their communities. While there is a community service requirement to complete the 4-H year, many clubs and members go above and beyond, lending a hand to neighbours and strangers throughout the year. The Brookville Lime Community Project Award has been around for the past 23 years, recognizing the special efforts of clubs make to help their community. There is a perpetual and keeper plaque for the winning club as well as prize money for the top four placing clubs.

While 4-H’s roots are deeply embedded in a history of agriculture and many of our members grow up within the agricultural sector, it is still a requirement for members to complete an agricultural awareness project so as to instill in 4-H members and the community the importance of agriculture in our everyday lives. The award is given to a club that comes up with creative projects that challenge those with an agricultural background and educate those 4-H and community members with less of an understanding on agriculture on PEI. This competition is open to 4-H clubs, a combination of 4-H clubs and 4-H districts.   

The Agro Co-op has been the proud sponsor of this award for the last 28 years. The prize is presented to the club showing the most improvement from one year to the next. 4-H District Officers may nominate one club from their district which they feel has shown a marked improvement over the previous year, ensuring that both large and small clubs have an equal opportunity in the selection process.

The Green Diamond Equipment Sustained Achievement Award recognizes a club that maintains a high standard of performance on a continual basis, particularly over a three year period. Like the Agro Co-op Most Improved Club award, 4-H District Officers nominate one club from each their districts which they felt met this requirement.
