UFA Credit program

Starting this year UFA has created a new program to help 4-H Alberta members learn about financial responsibility and budgeting. This program has replaced the 15% discount that was previously offered by UFA.

UFA have launched a new accounts program which will allow 4-H Alberta members to open an account with UFA that will help them to purchase all the necessary tools, equipment, and feed that they need to complete and work with their 4-H projects throughout the year. At the end of each 4-H year they will then pay off the account. The account will be interest free until July 31^st, 2016. This new account system will help 4-H Alberta members to build more life skills as they learn to manage their money and budget their spending as they work on their project throughout the year. This unique opportunity will allow 4-H members to begin to handle their own finances and learn about the business side of their marketable livestock projects.
