PRESENTATION AND PUBLIC SPEAKING PROGRAM KICKS OFF AT COUNTY ACTIVITY NIGHT
May 13 | 6:00-8:00 | register
________________________________
At 4-H, we like to support the growth of skills that will contribute to your success today and in the future. One of those skills we have successfully supported is PUBLIC SPEAKING. We do that yearly at our annual Activity Night.
You have time to work on a presentation or speech on a topic you know well and would like to share with others. Then attend Activity Night and give your speech or presentation in front of a small group of cheerleading families and coaches (our judges) who will give you feedback on your work. You can take the feedback, tweak your project, and compete with us at the District Activity Day on June 18th.
For information about the program, including judging rubric forms, check out this NC 4-H Site
Register for 4-H Activity night in 4HO.
TEENS: If you want to attend NC 4-H Congress with our delegation, you MUST give a presentation or speech at County Activity Night. This is for your own good :)
