4-H Communications Workshop

Author: Sherri Farley

Planning Unit: Campbell County CES

Major Program: Communications and Expressive Arts

Plan of Work: 4-H Youth Development - Developing Oral and Written Communication Skills

Outcome: Initial Outcome

Campbell County 4-H Youth Development program has had a rich and successful history of public speakers advancing from county to district to state championships. In order to foster and improve this success, a 4-H Communications Workshop is being offered as a day camp setting on President’s Day when most elementary students are out of school for the day.

The workshop will be held from 9am-3pm for ages 9-12 years old. Focus areas will be: developing a speech or a demonstration to fit the 4-H requirements as well as communication skills necessary for daily living and future use. Activities such as impromptu speaking, interview skills, using props while speaking and nonverbal skills will be incorporated into the 6 hour workshop. 4-H Communications curriculum will be used throughout the day. There will be a limit of 10 youth to allow for more one-on-one interaction and assistance. The goal is for all of the participants to compete in the County 4-H Communications Competition in late March.
