Public Presentations are one of the most valuable learning experiences in 4-H, helping youth build confidence, communication skills, critical thinking, organization, and leadership abilities that will benefit them throughout school, careers, and life. Whether sharing a demonstration, illustrated talk, speech, or performance, members gain experience speaking in front of others in a supportive environment.
✅ January Public Presentation opportunities are now open for registration! We strongly encourage our more experienced (“seasoned”) 4-H members to participate in a January presentation event whenever possible. Completing your presentation requirement early helps free up your spring schedule for sports, school activities, contests, and other extracurricular commitments while allowing newer members additional opportunities later in the season.
🙋 Judges Needed! Public Presentation events rely on caring volunteers to provide positive feedback and encouragement to our youth. No prior 4-H experience is required, and training/resources are provided. If you are interested in serving as a judge, please sign up today.

Reasonable Accommodations
WSU 4-H Takes seriously it’s responsibility to offer educational programming opportunities equitably to all qualified persons that can be reasonably accommodated. For WSU to accomplish it’s goals, WSU Staff, leaders and event officials should make all reasonable accommodations to allow youth with disabilities to participate in WSU 4-H activities and events.
Persons with disabilities have the right to request and receive reasonable accommodation. Each youth and event must be evaluated individually, assessing whether the youth is qualified for the event and whether he/she would be able to participate in the event with or without accommodation. So long as the youth meets essential requirements of the activity, participation should be welcomed.
Please complete this form to assist WSU 4-H in evaluating your Reasonable Accommodation Request. Your form will be forwarded to your local 4-H Extension Office for review.
Any questions about Reasonable Accommodations can be directed to our Kitsap 4-H Coordinator, Elisabeth Nilsson: elisabeth.nilsson@wsu.edu
