The 4-H Communication Arts program helps participants develop communication skills that are useful throughout their lifetime. It provides participants an opportunity to practice their skills before a group and learn to gather and organize information, equipment and props for their public presentations. These opportunities develop their confidence and skills in making public presentations.

Maxine J. Nordick, Extension Agent/4-H Youth Development for Cass County coordinated the 4-H District Communications Arts event and said, “This event helps young people to build self-confidence, poise and good communication skills. It’s encouraging to see so many young members participating so enthusiastically.”
