How it works
The MISSION of all Toastmasters Clubs is to provide a supportive and positive learning experience in which members are empowered to develop communication and leadership skills, resulting in greater self-confidence and personal growth. Each member follows a self-paced, proven program that enables them to improve as a speaker alongside growing as a leader.
Along every journey, growth awaits you; along the Toastmasters experience, growth is unlocked through education, a vital component of club meetings. Contact us to benefit from the leadership opportunities in our Club.
Club meetings are the heart of your Toastmasters experience. It is here that you will practice your skills and hone your craft with the support and encouragement of others. Every club meeting has three parts:
- Prepared speeches. During this portion of the event, members present speeches based on projects in the Toastmasters Pathways learning experience.
- Evaluations. Each prepared speech is verbally evaluated by a fellow member in a helpful, constructive manner using specific evaluation criteria.
- Table Topics. This is a fun and most challenging part of your event. All attendees have an opportunity to present one- to two-minute impromptu talks.
Depending on the level you are working towards, you may also be expected to present educational assignments and serve as a mentor to a fellow club member.
Embark on a journey of personal and professional development through Pathways, Toastmasters’ education program, designed to help you build the skills to communicate and lead.
