The Pas Helping Hands hosted its annual Communications Extravaganza on March 5, 2025, at The Pas Golden Agers Centre. Communications is a year-round activity. We include communication training throughout the year. Having members make motions, stand to answer a creative roll call, or participate in group discussions will give members more confidence to speak in front of a group. These small steps will all add up to a more successful final activity, whatever each member chooses to do during the extravaganza.
Speaking in front of a group is the number one fear of Canadian adults, but not for those who have been in the 4-H program. 4-H Alumni often list communication skills as one of the biggest assets they have gained from the 4-H program. Practicing communication activities in a club setting not only builds member’s confidence but also helps them to effectively convey their thoughts and opinions to others.
