Toastmasters Youth Programs/Gavel Clubs
For Youth under 18
Gavel clubs are perpetual clubs. Meetings are held weekly, and the club operates in the same way adult Toastmasters clubs do. Members perform the same roles, and use the same manuals (CC & CL). Participants increase their self-confidence as they become better speakers and leaders.
This is an 8-wk program, which enables participants to develop their speaking and leadership potential through practical experience. The YLP must be presented by a Toastmaster in good standing, following the guidelines in the Youth Leadership Coordinator’s Guide Youth-Leadership-Coordinators-Guide.
This program is similar to the Youth Leadership program, but is designed to be run by Non-Toastmasters.
