Description:

Confident public speaking is a crucial, but often overlooked and underdeveloped skill. Developing effective communication skills and techniques provide youth with a positive sense of self and higher levels of self-confidence. This empowers them to achieve and succeed in any situation they encounter.  More information on the benefits and importance of developing effective public speaking skills in youth can be found in this article

Good public speakers are made – not born. Check out our homegrown champion: 4-H National Public Speaking Champion

The Currituck County 4-H Public Speaking program allows youth to develop and practice these essential skills in a positive and fun learning environment under the guidance of caring volunteers and Extension staff. In this program, youth ages 8-18 research, write, practice, and deliver a 5-12 minute presentation on a topic of their choice. Youth ages 5-7 can also participate by presenting a two to four-minute presentation on the subject of their choice. 

All participants may compete in our County Activity Day June 14, 2024 and District 4-H Activity Day June 21, 2024 competitions. Gold and Silver medalists at District Activity Day will qualify for the NC 4-H State Public Speaking competition held on the campus of NC State University in Raleigh, NC on July 23, 2024.

In order to help youth draft and prepare their Presentations we have scheduled several program activities:

Presentations Overview and Q&A: April 2, 2024: Presentations Overview 2024

Outdoor Cooking Presentations April 4, 2024: Outdoor Cooking Workshop

There are 5 categories: Chicken, Turkey, Beef, Pork  and Seafood, three age groups: 8-10, 11-13 & 14-18 and a whole lot of food and fun. Join us April 4, 2024 from 9am-1pm and learn all the tips and tricks to delivering a great 4-H Outdoor Cooking Presentation.

Foods Presentations April 5, 2024: Foods & Nutrition Presentations

There are several foods and nutrition categories that provide youth with the opportunity to highlight the use of specific foods in healthy and nutritious dishes during their demonstration presentation. Foods and Nutrition categories include Dairy, Peanut, Egg Cookery, Fruits and Vegetables and a general Foods Category for foods not included in the previously mentioned categories. A very tasty and fun way to learn how to conduct a demonstration presentation. Join us April 5, 2024 from 9am-1pm for hand ons activities, fun food facts and presentation tips and techniques.

Presentation Prep & Practice: Wednesday and Friday afternoons from April 8, 2024 until June 15 2024.  We have also scheduled a series of workshops and work sessions for Wednesday and Friday afternoons from 3:30-6pm, from  April 8, 2024 until June 15, 2024. These sessions will provide youth with assistance, tips and techniques, formatting, preparation, poise (appearance and body language) and practice in a  safe and friendly environment.
