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.
