Christina Franc appointed CEO of 4-H Canada

4-H Canada has announced the appointment of Christina Franc as its new Chief Executive Officer, effective later this month.

Franc joins 4-H Canada after more than 15 years in senior leadership roles with national nonprofit organizations, most recently at United Way Centraide Canada (UWCC). During her time at UWCC, she worked closely with community partners across the country and gained extensive experience in governance, strategic planning, partnership development, and rural community engagement.

In a statement shared on social media, Franc says joining 4-H Canada represents a role that has been calling to her for many years. She first encountered the organization more than a decade ago and said its mission and values left a lasting impression.

“I’m deeply honoured to be joining 4-H Canada as CEO,” says Franc, adding that she is excited to support and champion the next generation of community-minded young leaders.

4-H Canada welcomed Franc and highlighted her leadership experience and commitment to rural communities. The organization says it looks forward to working with Franc to strengthen partnerships and continue supporting youth as they build confidence, leadership skills, and a sense of belonging.
