Presentation Proficiency

Any member who has given a presentation at County Presentation Day is eligible to participate in the Presentation Proficiency Program (whether they received a gold award or not), including Primary members.  Does not include Share the Fun, Cultural Arts or Impromptu Presentations. 

Purpose 

  1. To give 4-H members opportunities to share with others what they have learned in 4-H
  2. To recognize 4-H members who give presentations for various groups, thereby increasing their proficiency in making public presentations.
  3. To promote 4-H within our communities.

REQUIREMENTS: 

  1. GIVE A PRESENTATION AT COUNTY PRESENTATION DAY.  This is a requirement because the presentation will be judged (with the exception of Primary presentations) and all members receive feedback.
  2. GIVE YOUR PRESENTATION A MINIMUM OF 5 ADDITIONAL TIMES.
  • At least 2 of these must be given to non-4-H groups (service clubs, schools, etc.)
  • 3 of these may be given to 4-H groups (Sectional and/or State Presentation Day, club meetings, project meetings, etc.) as long as there are at least five or more people present. 

APPLICATION PROCEDURE: 

After each presentation, have an authorized adult (preferably not your parent) sign and date the Application for Presentation Proficiency. When you have completed 5 presentations (as outlined above) submit the application to your club leader for their signature of approval. Sign the application and send it to the 4-H Office by 5PM on August 15th.  Late applications will not be accepted. 

AWARDS: Appropriate medals will be awarded at the Annual Achievement Event held in the fall each year.
