4-H Public Presentations

  • Saturday, February 21, 2026, 10:00 AM - 3:30 PM

4-H Public Presentations is a program in which youth learn to create a presentation and develop the skills needed to present it before an audience. They learn about the research process and the steps needed to organize information into an interesting and creative presentation.

The public presentation program is one of the most beneficial and rewarding 4-H experiences. It is the one most often credited by 4-H alumni as having given them an edge above peers in both college and professional careers. It provides a unique opportunity to develop a positive self-concept and poise, gain self-confidence before a group, learn to express ideas clearly, respond spontaneously to questions, and gain subject matter knowledge. Through a progressive series of communication activities youth learn to express themselves and their ideas. New skills and more emphasis on delivery and “showmanship” are introduced each year.

Types of presentations include demonstrations, illustrated talks, speeches, horse communications, interviews, and impromptus! Cloverbuds can participate as well - this is a great opportunity for them to start getting comfortable speaking in front of an audience.
