History of the 4-H Washington, D.C. Intern Program

For decades, collegiate 4-H’ers from across the state of Georgia have served as interns in various capacities with Congressional leaders in our nation’s capital. In 1960, State 4-H Leader Tommy Walton worked with Senator Richard Russell to establish an intern program for Georgia 4-H’ers to have an experiential learning opportunity specializing in civic engagement. While in D.C., students get to experience the inner workings of the federal government, increase their knowledge and understanding of the legislative process, expand their network of leaders and career contacts, refine their leadership and communication skills, and represent Georgia 4-H in a national setting. Many alumni of the 4-H Intern Program go on to be leaders in various fields which serves as a testament to the program’s impact on participants.

We would like to recognize and thank the Richard B. Russell Foundation for their support of this endeavor and for their assistance in funding this once-in-a-lifetime learning experience for collegiate Georgia 4-H’ers.
