Since 2010, Tractor Supply has partnered with 4-H to prepare youth to be ready for work and life. The success of the Paper Clover campaign has raised more than $24 million to impact local youth with the technical skills and life skills that prepare them for whatever comes their way. 100 percent of funds raised through the bi-annual Paper Clover campaign directly benefits 4-H youth. 90 percent of donations directly support 4-H youth in the state where the funds were raised, and the remaining 10 percent supports the overall mission and growth of 4-H nationally.

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, January 30th from 4pm—5pm via Zoom.   Please email Roxanne at rmw38@cornell.edu to register and receive a zoom invite.

Presentation Days are scheduled for Thursday, February 20th from 1-4 pm and Saturday, March 8th from 10 am—4 pm.  Both will be held at the CCE offices.
