Do you like to speak in front a group?  Did you ever have to get up and do a speech in your classroom?  Would you like to learn the skills and confidence to be an outstanding public speaker?  Then you should participate in the Kentucky 4-H Communications Program.  4-H members can learn how to prepare and present a 4-H Speech on any topic they feel passionate about.  Are you a more hands on person?  Then how about a 4-H Demonstration?  In this “how to” presentation you teach someone how to do something using posters and other props.  Most counties have a communications program and competition.  Contact your 4-H agent for more information. 

4-H members who qualify at their county and district communications event (speech and demonstration contest) can attend the State 4-H Communications Day. This event is held annually in July on the University of Kentucky Campus.
