PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS

  

It’s never too early to start thinking about what your public presentation topic will be this year!


Every 4-H Member, regardless of age, should take this opportunity to develop the self-confidence, poise, self-esteem and skills necessary to speak in front of a group.  Some important skills you learn by giving a public presentation are:

« How to express yourself before others with ease;

« How to organize your thoughts;

« How to research a subject until you are comfortable enough to explain it to others;

« How to accept constructive criticism; and

« How to think ahead.

Remember:  In order for any youth to be eligible for a 4-H Scholarship for STAR, Career  Exploration, participate in the Warren County Youth Fair Superintendent & Assistant Program, or to attend the New York State Fair, you must complete a Public Presentation within the current 4-H year.  Adirondack Guides are required to participate every year.

SAVE THE DATE!  Public Presentation Training will be on Thursday,

February 8th from 4pm—5pm via Zoom.   Please email Roxanne at rmw38@cornell.edu to register and receive a zoom invite.
