Maine 4-H hosts state public speaking awards ceremony April 25
University of Maine Cooperative Extension 4-H is holding its annual state public speaking awards ceremony online starting at 3 p.m. April 25.
Public speaking helps youth build confidence, organization and presentation skills. UMaine Extension held its 4-H regional competitions online in March, and now 32 youth, between ages 12 and 19, from across Maine are preparing to present their illustrated talks and demonstrations.
Media are invited to view the awards ceremony being live-streamed beginning at 3 p.m. via Zoom Webinar, Facebook Live and YouTube on the event webpage. For more information, contact Sheila Norman at 207.951.7542 or sheila.norman@maine.edu.
