The number 1 fear that people have is not about spiders, not about ghosts or goblins, not even about heights or enclosed spaces.

The number 1 fear in people is speaking in front of a group [source: Toastmasters International®].

Toastmasters International® has helped millions of people alleviate that fear by their wonderful system.

Can you imagine young kids going through a regimented system similar to what Toastmasters® offers for adults ?

When kids start speaking in front of their peers and answer impromptu questions, slowly but surely, a leader within them emerges.

Once the leader emerges, there's no stopping that child. Oh the places he/she would go!!

Join our future leaders in the making!

Speakers League® clubs are not affiliated with Toastmasters International®.

The club fosters leadership development in youth as they hold leadership positions and manage many aspects of the club.

There are three main segments at youth-run meetings:

1. Prepared speeches that emphasize different speech-crafting techniques and presentation skills

2. Impromptu, during which members rise and reply, off-the-cuff, for 1 to 2 minutes to questions or topics

3. Evaluations that follow club guidelines for constructive critiques.

Suitable for ages 8-15

Ages 8-10 work on Level Jr manual and move on to Level I

Ages 10-15 work on Level I manual and move on to Level II

Develop new skills with each speech: Level I speeches build several skills including vocal variety, effective gestures and using visual aids. Each speech emphasizes a skill to improve overall presentation technique.

Comprehensive materials: Speakers League members receive a comprehensive Member Handbook with all materials for Levels I and II.

For Scouts: An excellent way to earn the Public Speaking & Communication Merit Badges.

Competitions: Speech and Impromptu competitions in the Spring and Fall with trophies, gift cards and medals for winners. Competitions judged by Toastmasters members.
