4-H Public Presentations

Public Presentations 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. Youth, with the support of their families, clubs, and 4-H staff learn to develop presentations on topics that are most relevant and exciting to them.

The greatest learning begins when youth are able to use the positive, constructive feedback from our judges to further develop their skills in planning, preparing, and presenting their next presentation.
