The 2021 4-H Public Speaking Tournament will take place virtually over the weekend of April 16–18, 2021. In the absence of local club and county tournaments this year, there will be ample support for youth preceding the tournament in the form of workshops and focused practice opportunities. These workshops are open to all youth who wish to practice their public speaking skills and those who wish to qualify for the state tournament. If you are interested in participating in the Maine 4-H Public Speaking Program and need assistance in any way, please contact us to discuss your needs. We are committed to making 4-H programs accessible to all youth, regardless of internet or technology access.
Youth are expected to attend two workshops and one practice session to qualify for the State Public Speaking Tournament. If youth are unable to attend the scheduled workshops, contact us for qualifier alternatives.
For more information or to request a reasonable accommodation, please contact: Sheila Norman at sheila.norman@maine.edu.
