National 4H Council

National 4-H Council is a non-profit organization based in Washington, District of Columbia. The organization employs 323 people and generates $33 million in annual revenue. They are the private sector partner of the Cooperative Extension System and 4-H National Headquarters. National 4-H Council empowers nearly six million young people across the United States with the skills to lead for a lifetime. Their programs, delivered by Cooperative Extension—a network of over 100 public universities—provide hands-on learning experiences in areas such as health, science, agriculture, and citizenship. 4-H programs are designed to support young people in developing leadership skills and making positive contributions to their communities. Young people involved in 4-H are twice as likely to make healthy decisions, pursue STEM opportunities outside of school, and contribute to their communities. 4-H programs are accessible to youth in every county and parish across the country through a variety of formats, including in-school and after-school programs, school and community Clubs, and 4-H camps.
