Free Youth Leadership Program details.

Think for a moment about the successful leaders you know. Chances are they all have one quality in common - the ability to communicate effectively. Toastmasters believe that every young person has the potential to become a good communicator and leader. The Toastmasters Youth Leadership program enables participants to develop these skills through practical experience.

The Youth Leadership Program, funded with a grant from Frankston City Council, will start on Saturday the 6th of January. It is for young people (aged between 14 & 18), who either live or go to school in the Frankston City Council area, to learn communications skills vital to education and the workplace. Participants will have fun, learn communications skills, build self confidence and make new friends at the same time. Thanks to the Council grant, there is no fee to participants. Places are still available.
