4-H PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS


4-H Public Presentations is a program in which youth learn to create a presentation and develop the skills needed to present it before an audience.  This is not a competition, rather an opportunity to become a better you! You cannot fail, but you will learn, grow and develop lifelong speaking abilities that will help you now in school, home and in club/community leadership opportunities.

Beginners are encouraged to select simple topics with which they are extremely comfortable, so that the presentation process is the focus of their learning without the stress of learning about an unfamiliar topic.  We encourage youth to progress and grow each year and challenge themselves with a new presentation style, use technology in their presentations and to venture into unfamiliar topics as they become more comfortable with public speaking.

Every 4-H Member, regardless of age, should take this opportunity to develop the self-confidence, poise, self-esteem and skills necessary to speak before a group.

 Remember: In order for any youth to be eligible for a 4-H Scholarship for STARR, Capital Days, Career Ex, the Youth Fair Superintendent 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.
