04 NATIONAL 4-H COUNCIL 2015 YOUTH IMPACT REPORT A Letter from our Chair and President & CEO

Very few youth-serving organizations can rival the storied history and wide-ranging impact of 4-H, America’s largest youth development organization. 4-H took root more than a century ago, providing young people with the skills to lead for a lifetime. Today—in a rapidly-changing and competitive world—empowering America’s kids is more important than ever.

National 4-H Council plays an essential role in supporting 4-H in partnership with a unique and innovative network that includes more than 100 leading universities, America’s Cooperative Extension System and the National Institute of Food and Agriculture at the United States Department of Agriculture. We’re proud to be their partner on many levels to support the 4-H program.

Council’s work is focused on creating public-private sector partnerships, convening the 4-H community around important issues and telling the amazing 4-H story. In 2015, we celebrated our highest revenue year in Council history – raising nearly $48 million. Those funds supported exciting 4-H initiatives like teen-led healthy living programs, the world’s largest youth-led science experiment and programs to engage Hispanic youth and families. Our supporters—including millions of 4-H alumni—are rightfully proud of the proven impact of the 4-H experience.

We understand that America needs more young people who are engaged, prepared and qualified to take on the critical challenges facing businesses, communities, families and kids. Sadly, too many of our nation’s youth lack the basic skills required to become successful and productive members of society. The numbers are sobering; half of today’s youth admit they are unprepared for life after high school.

In response, Cooperative Extension’s 10-year vision sets a lofty goal: to reach millions more youth with a life-changing 4-H experience—tailored to the changing demographics and diverse needs of the country. The entire 4-H community, including Council, is committed to making that vision a reality.

More than 100 years ago, 4-H was founded on a belief in the power of youth. Today, 4-H is poised to positively impact the next 100 years—by equipping America’s young people with the critical skills needed to solve modern day challenges. That’s a powerful story we will continue to share, one about 4-H’ers leading with confidence and curiosity, with the capability to find answers and solutions, the courage to get the job done and make sure it’s done right.

Sincerely,
