Speechcraft  is a great opportunity for Live Learn Lead to present the fundamentals of public speaking to non-members. It can be offered as an integral part of your club meeting or as a seminar-style program presented outside of our club. The content can be delivered in four, six or eight sessions.  This will be tailored to your organization, let’s discuss your needs.

The Youth Leadership Program is a workshop consisting of eight one- to two-hour sessions that enable young people under the age of 18 to develop their communication and leadership skills through practical experience. The program is presented during or afer school, or on weekends. In the workshop, young people learn valuable skills including:

* Evaluating their own speaking ability
* Preparing and giving speeches
* Giving impromptu talks
* Controlling their voice, vocabulary and gestures
* Giving constructive feedback and more

How the program works

Participants in the Youth Leadership Program are selected by a sponsoring Toastmasters club or by a cooperating organization (such as a school). The workshops are structured for small group learning and are limited to 25 students. They are presented by a coordinator who attends each meeting. Meetings generally follow a format similar to that of a Toastmasters club meeting, with an announced agenda that includes practice in parliamentary procedure, prepared and impromptu speeches and the selection of presiding officers.
