4-H Canada is reaching out to its former members in the hopes they can play a major role in growing the youth program's membership base as the Canadian 4-H Council today launches a national advertising campaign. The campaign, titled 'Join Again', encourages former 4-H Members to re-connect with the organization that played such a significant role in their own early development. Once alumni have 're-connected', they will be encouraged to either step forward as potential volunteers themselves or to act as ambassadors in circulating information on 4-H opportunities.

You remember all the great times you had in 4-H. Alumni tell us all the time that 4-H played a big part in shaping their lives and even their careers ... Now we're hoping you can come back and help us pass on the 4-H experience to a whole new generation. In fact, there's nobody better trained to help us out than you. Because you know 4-H. It's in your blood. To sign up, go to Join 4-H Again and sign up.

During your time in 4-H, did you experience:

• Learning about projects such as animals, cooking or sewing?
• Surviving your first speech or demonstration?
• Making lifelong friends?
• Travelling to other parts of the province or country on programs and exchanges?

If you answered YES to any of these questions, you know firsthand how 4-H can benefit young people. If you (or someone you know) is a past 4-H member or leader, we'd like to get to know you again. Your skills, experience, energy and contacts are invaluable to 4-H clubs in your community and throughout the province.

This is an opportunity to reconnect with 4-H. As part of the BC 4-H network, you can act as a role model for 4-H members and encourage their continued participation in the 4-H program.

Benefits of recapturing the spirit:

• Be listed in a 4-H alumni directory so you can stay in touch with 4-H friends in the province, and your name will be on the mailing list for future alumni reunions and 4-H events.
• Have the chance to share your experience and act as a resource (judge, speaker, helper) for 4-H clubs in your area if you wish.
• Receive our 4-H in BC publication. The publication will keep you up to date on the happenings of 4-H in the province and in your area.
• Help to build the BC 4-H Foundation, an endowment fund whose sole purpose is funding new and existing 4-H programs.

To get started today, please sign our guest book and we will get in touch with you.

You can write, call, e-mail or fax us. We'd love to have you aboard!
