Public Presentations is one of 4-H's most valued programs. It is often cited by 4-H alumni as the most significant and valuable 4-H learning experience, more so than any other 4-H program.  The purpose of this fun, yet competitive, event is to help youth learn to speak confidently in front of others. 4-H'ers prepare and deliver a presentation, and along the way, learn research skills, how to organize and write a talk, and ways to create and use visual aids.  Volunteer evaluators watch 4-H youth participants give their presentations and provide them with constructive feedback to help them improve their public speaking skills. ​

Youth develop presentations on topics that are most relevant and exciting to them. There are a variety of presentation types to choose from, and the topic can be about almost anything. For more information about presentation types, please visit: Cornell Cooperative Extension | Presentation Types, and as always, we are here to help! If you have any questions about this event, please ask.
