Give Today’s Youth the Gift of Toastmasters!

Teenagers are often more comfortable communicating electronically than speaking face to face. Yet many events in teenagers’ lives require interpersonal communication skills to be resolved successfully. Now, more than ever, they need guidance in developing their communication skills. Through Toastmasters Gavel Clubs, participants learn to:

Overcome nervousness when speaking before an audience.
Organize and present ideas logically and convincingly.
Listen carefully to others' ideas.
Participate in and lead group discussion or meetings.
Offer advice to help others improve their speaking and leadership skills.

All these skills are necessary for earning a living in today’s competitive job market, but are also essential for maintaining healthy personal relationships and achieving academic goals in middle & high school and college.
