Welcome to the home of learned success, earned respect and "I wish I'd known about this sooner".
Welcome to PEI 4-H.
Soon, you'll engage the 4-H process, a system of skills, lessons and rewards disgned to unlock the potential trapped within your genetic code.
The first thing you should know about 4-H is that it changes you. It will be gradual and at times subtle but when it's all said and done the differences will be extensive. It's not to say that people won't recognize you. On the outside you'll probably change very little. However, after a year with us, meeting the people you'll meet, accomplishing the things you'll accomplish (as a club and individual) you'll feel very different. But enough about where you'll end up; let's talk about how you get there.
During the 4-H year (we set our OWN time frames), you'll finish a project (or two) in the field of your choosing and acquire fundamental skills and concepts like meeting procedure, team work, and leadership. You'll participate in a communications project, where you find your voice, and then share it with the rest of us. You'll help your community - like, really help - by working as a club to make the place in which you live better with a community project of your choosing. And you'll learn about what it means to be green, by exploring agriculture on P.E.I. and the environment. If all of these criteria are met, then you'll discover your ability to achive.
Achievement is more than just a concept. It's a skill; and like any skill, you become proficient at it with a little training and practice. We don't publicise our training specifics, we wouldn't want that kind of information falling into the wrong hands. However, we can tell you that from here on you'll be challenged, succeed, laugh and make a few new friends.
If you're new, you're likely wondering what the H's are all about? The H's represent the skills and talents you already have. It's our mission to tune them and amplify them. We call it
YOU to the power of 4-H's

Heart is caring. heart is courage in teh face of fear. Heart is introspective and giving at the same time. Heart does the right things, even if it's cheesy. Heart is considerate and makes everyone feel warm, and comfortable and confident.

Hands is endeavour. Hands is putting in the time to make it a reality. Hands craft something until it is perfect. Hands reach higher. Hands is about affecting change. Hands is about teamwork. Hands adapt, evolve and get tougher so that they can meet the challenge. hands wear scuffs and scars like medals. hands is about more than dreaming, hands is about seeing it happen.
