About Toastmasters

Toastmasters International is a nonprofit educational organization that teaches public speaking and leadership skills through a worldwide network of meeting locations.

Founded on October 22, 1924 by Dr. Ralph Smedley, the organization now has more than 270,000 members in over 13,000 Toastmasters clubs in 116 countries around the world. Moreover more than 4,000,000 people have enjoyed the benefits of Toastmasters membership.

A Toastmasters club provides a safe, nurturing environment where you can practice your communication skills, knowing everyone is there to help you learn and grow. We also believe the best way to learn is when you are having fun.

Toastmasters Mission Statement

“The mission of a Toastmasters club is to provide a mutually supportive and positive learning environment in which every individual member has the opportunity to develop oral communication and leadership skills, which in turn foster self-confidence and personal growth.”
