About National 4-H Council

National 4-H Council, founded in 1976 through the merger of the National 4-H Foundation and National 4-H Service Committee, serves as the national nonprofit partner to the broader 4-H youth development system, which is America's largest youth organization, engaging nearly six million members. Headquartered in Washington, DC, the Council specializes in fundraising, brand management, communications, legal and fiduciary support, and strategic program development. The organization aims to increase opportunities for all American youth by encouraging expanded investment and involvement in 4-H's experiential learning model. Originating in the early 1900s from rural “Corn Clubs” and “Tomato Clubs,” 4-H has grown into a recognized leader in preparing youth in STEM, healthy living, agriculture, leadership, and citizenship. The Council promotes an inclusive, mission-driven culture and seeks candidates passionate about youth empowerment, innovation, collaboration, and equity. National 4-H Council offers eligible employees comprehensive benefits such as healthcare, retirement plans with company matching, flexible spending accounts, and a remote-first work policy that supports work-life balance, including half-day Fridays and paid volunteer time. The organization also encourages professional development through learning opportunities and fosters a supportive, inclusive work environment. The organization emphasizes lifelong learning, community impact, and alignment with core values.
