Collapse ▲Carteret County Youth participate in 2024 District Activity Day
Many researchers say that the fear of public speaking is one of America’s top fears, but not for these youth!
Public speaking is an integral part of North Carolina 4-H. Presentations are one of the most successful ways to help a young person learn how to do a public speech. It focuses on members teaching others what they know about a particular project/subject matter. They are sometimes called demonstrations or illustrated talk or a formal speech. (4-H Awards Incentives Programs – Presentations)
Carteret County 4-H Agent, Coleman Killinger, hosted various presentation workshops to allow youth to choose topics and develop speeches with the support of 4-H staff and peers. Carteret County 4-H also hosted County Activity Day on May 16. During County Activity Day, judges were brought in to evaluate each youth’s speech. The youth received feedback which they then use to further develop their speeches in preparation for the district level competition.
District Activity Day was held on Friday, June 14 on the campus of University of Mount Olive. Carteret County 4-H had eight youth who participated.
Walter Stevenson competed in the Cloverbud Category for 5-7 year olds with his presentation “How to Start Grilling.” He received a Cloverbud Ribbon for his participation. Walter was a first-time presenter this year.

Isla Espinoza competed in the 8-10 year old Small and Companion Animal Category as a first time presenter with her presentation, “What You Need for Proper Care of a Hamster.” She received a Gold Medal. Isla was also a part of 4-H Entertains which provides an opportunity for 4-H’ers to demonstrate their creativity through performing arts.

“The 4-H Presentation Public Speaking Program serves as a platform for our 4-H’ers to showcase their expertise, engage with their peers, and learn the art of effective communication. The program not only challenges their intellect but also fosters personal growth, critical thinking, and leadership qualities. From passionate speeches on environmental sustainability to informative demonstrations on technology advancements, each presentation demonstrated the depth of knowledge and enthusiasm these young individuals possess. Their ability to connect with the audience and articulate their ideas with clarity left an indelible mark on all those present.” –4-H Youth Shine Bright in the District 4-H Presentation Competitions
