Youth Leadership Program
The Youth Leadership Program helps young people develop
the communication and leadership skills they need to
be successful adults. The program is conducted by a
coordinator for a group of young people under the age
of eighteen, in four to eight sessions of one to two
hours each. Ideally, there should be 15 to 25 participants;
the minimum number is five.
Over the course of these sessions, participants learn
about effective public speaking, have the opportunity
to practice speaking themselves, and can be mentored
by experienced Toastmasters if they desire. Friendships
can and do blossom from the Youth Leadership experience.
This is a very effective way for a teenager to acquire
the skills of speaking, listening, thinking, and evaluating
-- all skills that are extremely important in today's
world.
The sessions of the Youth Leadership Program covers
a variety of topics which play a part in good public
speaking.
- Gestures
- Vocal Variety
- Using Visual Aids
- Speech Organization
- Taking the Terror Out of a Talk
- Effective Speech Evaluation
- Constructing a Speech
- Relating to Your Audience
