The mission of the Southern Region 4-H Volunteer Forum (SRVF) is to increase the capacity of volunteers and salaried staff to contribute to the achievement of the mission of 4-H Youth Development and the Cooperative Extension system.  The primary purpose of the SRVF is to educate and prepare participants to share the information that they learned and practice the skills that they have developed, through participating in the forum, at home in their own 4-H programs and activities.

Texas 4-H and Youth Development in partnership with Texas AgriLife Extension eLearning are proud to announce a new online Get To The Point! course to teach skills of developing and presenting a 4-H Educational Presentation. 
 
The Get To The Point! course is for all 4-H members, parents, volunteers, and county Extension agents to expand their knowledge of researching topics, organizing, developing, and presenting an Educational Presentation in one of the numerous categories at the local, county, district, and state levels.  The online course includes interactive activities including scenarios and question and answer sessions, as well as videos of educational presentations.  
 
The Get To The Point! course is now open for enrollment.

Here is a web page that I put together last year that might help explain how to put public speaking presentations together.  Thanks to member Bethany Rudd who did an awesome job on the video! 

I might need to update a few links, but looks like most of the important stuff if still active.

Quality does count when it comes to how you raise and show your livestock project.  Too often we get caught up in the hardware.  What in the world is hardware you ask?  Well, those are the dinner plate-sized buckles, rainbow coloroed ribbons, and sky-high trophies.  It's also the cold hard cash.

Livestock projects are intended to be a tool to teach youth how to raise breeding or market animals...period.  Somewhere along the way livestock shows have gotten away from its original purpose of helping educate our youth so that they know and can apply such skills as selection, feeding, marketing, breeding, and record-keeping.  It is time to refocus on what is important.
