4-H Public Presentation Training

  • Thursday, January 29, 2026, 4:30 PM - 5:30 PM

Learn the basics of presenting a blue ribbon 4-H presentation. If you are new to presentations or just want a refresher, we encourage you to attend this program. (Required for 4-H Adirondack Guides who have not previously participated in the 4-H Public Presentation Program.

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.
