8 New York 4-H'ers Participate in the Northeast States 4-H Speak Up Festival

In 2021, a group of 4-H staff and faculty from across the Northeast region worked on a collaborative effort to create the first virtual Northeast States 4-H Presentations Fest. This event aimed to provide youth with additional opportunities to improve and showcase their communication skills.


This year's event featured thirty 4-H youth from nine states including eight NYS 4-H'ers. All eight NY participants took home blue ribbons with three taking the purple ribbon top honors.

Congrats to all involved on this successful event!
