Public Speaking Workshops
Miss Amber will be hosting Public Speaking workshops again this winter to help 4-H’ers prepare for the county Public Speaking contests next spring. The main goals of these workshops is to help youth gain confidence in public speaking, and develop a speech and/or presentation for the county contest.
If you are interested in taking part in these workshops, but the dates do not work, please contact Amber at amber.willard@unl.edu. If there is enough interest, a second series of workshops will be offered at another time.
Special Garden Project
Livestock Information Series Webpage
The Nebraska 4-H Livestock Information Series is a resource for 4-H members, leaders, and parents to gain knowledge in various livestock-related topic areas. Each session, a new topic is covered with experts joining to share their experience and expertise. Extended learning opportunities and supporting documents are also available for each topic.
Nebraska 4-H Foundation Scholarships
National Western Stock Show Catch-a-Calf
The Catch-a-Calf program is designed so successful participants catch a calf, feed it, and return with the animal one year later as a market-ready steer at the National Western Stock Show.
Applications for 2022-2023 are NOW OPEN and are due December 15, 2021.
Please note, this program is only open to active 2021 4-H members ages 14-18 (who must be residents) in Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska & Wyoming. Please refer to the Rules and Regulations for further information. https://nationalwestern.com/livestock-shows/catch-a-calf-program
