Collapse ▲New Hanover County 4-H Presentations & Performing Arts!
Public speaking is one of the most important tools to have as an adult, which is why local 4-H kids work on it when they’re young. On this page, you can find general information and resources for 4-H Presentations.
There are over 30 categories for the youth to select as their topic, including an open class for subjects that do not fit into a category. Youth are normally given a topic for presentations in school, so this gives them a chance to learn more about something they find exciting. We encourage participants to choose a topic they are passionate about and want to share with others. Previous presentation topics include: wildlife, manga artwork, how to set up a fish aquarium, healthy lifestyles, edible cookie dough, seafood grilling, and archery!
