Show your 4-H Colours on November 6

Nov 05, 2024

Every November, 4-H members, leaders, alumni, and supporters alike don their 4-H green and come together to spread awareness of 4-H and support the positive impacts the 4-H program is making in Canada and abroad. This celebration highlights the incredible things 4-H youth are doing in their communities and how the 4-H program is creating responsible, caring, and contributing young leaders.

Established in 2007, this campaign celebrates everything that is 4-H while giving back to 4-H. As a movement, we believe there are countless ways to celebrate 4-H and to give back to the program, and we are encouraging members of the 4-H community and beyond to explore how to do that. By wearing green, celebrating, and giving back, you are showing your 4-H colours. Together, we are making a difference in Canadian communities by inspiring youth to “Learn To Do By Doing”.

Celebrating 111 Years of 4-H in Canada

For 111 years, 4-H has been one of the most well-respected youth-serving organizations in Canada. 4-H gives youth opportunities to “Learn To Do By Doing” through a dedicated group of volunteer leaders and mentors who deliver world-class positive youth development programming in the areas relevant to today’s youth.

Today, 4-H has over 19,000 members and over 7,000 volunteers in Canada. 4-H nurtures responsible, caring, and contributing youth leaders who are committed to positively impacting their communities.

4-H is one of the largest, most respected youth development organizations in Canada.

4-H provides youth with the guidance, resources, and opportunities to become contributing members of their community, their country, and the world, by preparing them for the various paths of life, and encouraging them to find their sense of self, purpose, and responsibility.

Positive Youth Development

At the centre of all 4-H programs is the positive youth development, or PYD formula. Positive youth development is an approach to understanding and working with children and adolescents that focuses on building assets and celebrating strengths.

Video: Understanding the Basics of the Renewable Fuel Standard

On Friday, April 24, 2026, from 12 noon–1:00 ET, the Penn State Center for Agricultural and Shale Law, alongside the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture’s (PDA) Agricultural Business Development Center (ABDC), presented this webinar in the Understanding Agricultural Law Educational Series, a course designed to develop subject matter literacy and competence on fundamental issues of agricultural law for attorneys and business advisors who work with or represent agricultural or rural clients but may not necessarily specialize in agricultural law:

“Understanding the Basics of the Renewable Fuel Standard”

The Clean Air Act’s Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program requires transportation fuel sold in the United States to contain a minimum volume of renewable fuels such as ethanol, biodiesel, or advanced biofuels. Established by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and later expanded by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, the RFS is implemented by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in collaboration with the Department of Energy and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

This webinar provides an overview of the legal authority and structure for the RFS program and explain how it works, including the program’s system of Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) and categories of renewable fuels. Additionally, this webinar addresses EPA annual volume requirement rulemaking and associated recent legal issues.
