Photography

The photography program provides workshops for youth that range from beginning photo composition to introduction to your camera to digital photography.

Public Presentations

All 4-H members are encouraged to develop their skills in public speaking.  Most youth start by making a short presentation on a topic of their choice, with an audience of just a couple of people.  Feedback is provided, and members can advance to increasingly larger audiences and win awards, if they wish.
