On Saturday, February 25 Genesee County 4-H will hold its annual public presentations event at Byron-Bergen Middle/High School beginning at 9:30 am. Over eighty 4-H youth from across Genesee County will participate in this diverse event.
Youth involved in 4-H ranging from ages 5 to 18 will give public presentations in front of their peers and a panel of volunteer judges. Presentations will include everything from illustrated talks using posters, PowerPoint presentations, to live demonstrations and even impromptu topics. Each presentation lasts at least five minutes, but no longer than fifteen minutes.
By participating in this event, 4-H youth improve their public speaking skills while developing self-confidence, poise, self-esteem, stage presence and knowledge; giving them an advantage over their peers in this life skills area. These skills will be useful in their future social, educational and career pursuits.
