Being able to speak well in front of the public is a skill available to everyone. Communication skills and activities are built into every project. Doing a demonstration for fellow club members and participating in project interview judging provides an excellent opportunity to practice public speaking in a comfortable, safe setting. Members are also encouraged to expand their abilities by presenting to outside groups. Public speaking is a skill that will benefit you throughout your life. Ohio 4-H offers projects (listed in the Family Guide) and communications events at the state fair. Go to ohio4h.org/ohiostatefair for more information.

The following public speaking opportunities are available to all Tuscarawas County 4-H'ers interested in enhancing their public speaking skills.

Note: Subject matter of presentations need to be considerate of the audience and small children.

All events held June 17 at Jerusalem Church in New Philadelphia  beginning at 6:30 PM. All entries due by 4 PM June 15.

 

 

 

Please note that participation in the Health and Safety Speaking Preview is not required to advance to district and state competition.

There will still be outside judges and awards for the categories. For more information about entring the district competition, please contact Kiersten.
