Public Speaking Is a Super Power! 🎤
What is Project Achievement Competition?

  • 4-H helps youth discover their voice and build confidence that lasts a lifetime.
    Register now for our public speaking event, where 4-H staff will train and prepare youth to compete, step by step.
    No experience needed—just the courage to try! This event is for 4th, 5th, and 6th graders. Contact the 4-H Office now to sign up.
    It’s for 4th—6th-grade students to do a presentation on a topic of their choice. Similar
    to “show and tell,” using researched information on the topic. Must be educational.
    “Performing Arts” categories demonstrate without a speech. Create posters to share the information highlights and use photos. 

Project Achievement helps develop skills for a lifetime. 4-H’ers pick a project area of interest (Ex, Veterinary science, cars, cooking, etc.), research the topic, write/develop an illustrated talk, and then present their presentation to others (ie, classmates, 4-H staff, or judges). As your child gets older (7th-12th grade), a record-keeping component is added for 4-H Project Achievement, but for our Cloverleafs (5th-6th grades), it’s all about sharing knowledge. For a Cloverleaf 4-H’er, the presentation may be at school, a county-level competition, and/or a district-level competition.

4-H'ers should pay attention at the beginning of the school year during 4-H club time to find out more information about Project Achievement. We will be using Friends Magazine it to learn how to get started with your project.

4-H'ers will need to make an appointment with the Extension office to discuss their project individually.

 


4-H Demonstration Tips!


Can I do a PowerPoint presentation?

Can I perform?

Can someone help the student prepare?

  • Yes, this is a learning experience, and guidance is suggested. It needs to be the student’s work, but it can be assisted. 4-H Staff will be happy to help.

            Simply call to schedule an appointment. 4-H has poster boards and resources to make visual aids.
