Other 4-H project materials can also help. In addition to these two resources, you might check out library books on the subject of public speaking. Another valuable resource in many communities is the Toastmasters Club. Individuals in Toastmasters focus on enhancing their personal speaking skills. They usually meet weekly to support each other as they give a variety of speeches.
Toastmasters are often happy to sponsor public speaking workshops for interested young people.
Individual Toastmaster Clubs have also sponsored and organized Junior Toastmaster Clubs. If you'd like to involve this volunteer group with 4-H, check your telephone book or Chamber of Commerce for local groups. Some members may want to participate in speech contests. Check with the sponsoring group for details on the specific contest.
