The Junior Toastmasters program is an informal course in the arts of communication and leadership. The ability to clearly express your thoughts to others so that they are heard and understood is important if you want to participate in group discussions and decision-making activities.
By participating, you will learn speaking and leadership skills that you will be able to use for the rest of your life. You'll learn to:
• Overcome the nervousness everyone feels when asked to speak before an audience
• Organize and present your ideas logically and convincingly
• Listen carefully to others' ideas
• Offer helpful advice that will help others improve their speaking and leadership skills
• Participate in -and even lead- group discussions or meetings
Students will present a minimum of 2 speeches during the 12-week sessions (The number of speeches depends on the number of participants in the class). Each week students will also practice answering 1-2 minute impromptu questions, as well as hold a weekly “Toastmaster job” that will help improve listening and evaluating skills.
