Public speaking is an important life skill for youth and adults alike. While few careers depend solely on public speaking for success, there are even fewer employees whose careers do not require them to demonstrate successfully the ability to present information to others. Fortunately, 4-H offers opportunities for young people to develop the confidence needed to speak in front of others.
This past week, 4-H'ers in Currituck County had the opportunity to practice their public speaking skills through participation in the Northeast District 4-H Activity Day.
Summer is fast approaching and parents are sure to be looking for fun activities for the kiddos when school lets out. 4-H can help with that!
In 4-H, young people "Learn by Doing." As the 4-H pledge states, opportunities are designed to promote clearer thinking, greater loyalty, service to the community and healthy living. Come in and register for the variety of summer programs that Currituck County 4-H has planned so your child can do just that in 2016.
