Youth Leadership Program

The Youth Leadership Program is a workshop consisting of eight one- to two-hour sessions that enable those between the age of 12 and 17 to develop their communication and leadership skills through practical experience. The program is presented on Saturdays. In the workshop, young people will learn how to:

• Evaluate their own speaking ability
• Prepare and deliver speeches
• Give impromptu talks
• Control their voice, vocabulary, and gestures
• Give constructive feedback and more

How the program works

The workshops are limited to 25 students. Meetings are like Toastmasters club meetings in that there is an announced agenda that includes practice in parliamentary procedure, prepared and impromptu speeches, and the selection of presiding officers.
