Testimonials
"This years Toastmaster’s experience was a major step in a direction I had never taken before. This was my second year at Toastmasters, and I was able to accomplish so much in my public speaking skills. I had performed my first ever memorized speech, I had so much fun meeting all the club members in person at our in-person events, and I also loved being able to see new faces joining the club. Seeing so many speakers improve from the beginning of the year—including myself—was such a wonderful experience. I can fully say that I feel so much more confident in my public speaking skills. Not just in a public setting, but in my day-to-day life."
- Katelyn
"The Toastmasters gavel club has immensely helped me in all things that require speaking, which is basically everything. From school presentations, to everyday conversations, I have found myself being more confident and fluent. I highly recommend this club to anyone, regardless of your speaking skill."
