Presentation Day General Information

4-H Presentation Board

Presentation Day(s) give members the chance to communicate an idea or concept to an audience. By going through the process of giving a presentation, members learn how to research a subject, organize ideas in a logical order, and practice public speaking skills which are valuable later in life.   Every 4-H member is encouraged to give a presentation each year.
