The National 4-H Council plans to increase the impact of 4-H from six million to ten million young people by 2030. “We see a unique opportunity with having educators and mentors in every county to reach down to that last milepost and help every kid that needs us,” said Heather Elliott, senior vice president and chief development officer, National 4-H Council. The 4-H Council will utilize three key strategies to reach this ambitious goal. The first is finding greater opportunities for academic and career pathways forward for the youth. The second is investing in the educators. The third is “how we mobilize that network at the state, local, and federal level to all surround young people and focus on how we help them.
