or many of America’s youth, 4-H mentors are so much more than tutors or program leaders—they are hope, they are comfort, they are family. They are the Fpathway to a promising future. In 2014, the 4-H National Mentoring Program reached 9,200 young people and nearly 3,000 adult and teen mentors in 47 states. The program, in place since 2010, is made possible with grant money from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention.

he 4-H Mall is widely recognized as the e-commerce and mail-order catalog unit of National 4-H Council, and we continually strive to provide the best supplies, Tspirit items and learning products to meet the needs of 4-H’ers around the world. Since 1925, all purchases made through the 4-H Mall have provided direct monetary support for 4-H clubs, and in fiscal year 2014 alone, the 4-H Mall generated over $4.5 million in revenue to advance National 4-H Council’s mission.

The 4-H Mall focused on two exciting initiatives that received positive acclaim from the 4-H community in fiscal year 2014:

• Mobile Site: The team launched an optimized mobile site so 4-HMall.org could be more easily accessed from mobile devices and tablets.

• Innovative Programming: The 4-H Mall team also rolled out three innovative program opportunities to engage with the 4-H community in new ways called 4-H Small Business, Trend Spotters, and Mall2Go. We drew on our long- standing personal relationships and experience with 4-H alumni, professionals, volunteers and young people to design programs that provide additional value to each of these 4-H segments. Our Small Business program began in April as we introduced a collection of animal stall tags produced by 4-H alumnus Chuck McCubbins from Reno, Nevada. The partnership proved exciting as it provided Chuck reach outside his local market and enabled us to provide unique, niche items to our customers.

16 2014 YOUTH IMPACT REPORT About 4-H

4-H, the nation’s largest youth development organization, grows confident young people who are empowered for life today and prepared for career tomorrow. 4-H programs empower nearly six million young people across the U.S. through experiences that develop critical life skills. 4-H is the youth development program of our nation’s Cooperative Extension System and USDA, and serves every county and parish in the U.S. through a network of 110 public universities and more than 3000 local Extension offices. Globally, 4-H collaborates with independent programs to empower one million youth in 50 countries. The research-backed 4-H experience grows young people who are four times more likely to contribute to their communities; two times more likely to make healthier choices; two times more likely to be civically active; and two times more likely to participate in STEM programs.

4-H is led by a unique private-public partnership. National 4-H Council is the private sector, non-profit partner of the Cooperative Extension System and 4-H National Headquarters located at the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) within the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).
