Ben Graham, chair of the Canadian 4-H Foundation says 4-H has an enormous impact on our youth.

It's about how to manage projects, whether it's computers or dogs - canine, whether it's beef cattle. It's a real diverse opportunity for kids to learn skills that help them become better leaders and contributors to their community."
