Since 1924, Toastmasters International has helped millions of men and women become more confident in front of an audience. Our network of clubs and their learn-by-doing program are sure to help you become a better speaker and leader. Why pay thousands of dollars for a seminar when you can join a Toastmasters club for a fraction of the cost and have fun in the process? The cost is about $5 a month or a quarter a day. Aren't you worth it?
HUD Toastmasters learn by speaking and working with others in a supportive environment. We meet every Tuesday at noon for an hour, tops. At each meeting, members are given an opportunity to practice their speaking, leadership and communication skills. Weekly, we learn to become better listeners and how to give and receive constructive evaluations. Many members have shared that because of the skills learned in Toastmasters, they have gained self-confidence, grown professionally and were given opportunities that otherwise would not have happened. This club has multiple Distinguished Toastmasters - one yearly practically!
Dont worry! Everyone in a Toastmasters club was once at the level you are now. The environment is friendly and supportive, and the self-paced program allows you to build confidence with each speaking assignment. And youll love the applause! Constructive evaluation is the heart of the Toastmasters program. Each time you give a prepared speech, an evaluator will point out strengths and suggest improvements. At first youll be applauded for your effort; later youll be applauded for your skill.
The club members are very diverse and range from federal to civil to public to private sectors from all walks of life, with all types of backgrounds, are from all levels of society (unemployed to senior management), with varying levels of education. The commonality: the desire to transform our lives, improve our communications skills, tell our stories, effect change, and thereby make a contribution to our world.
