About: Toastmasters International is a global organization with local clubs where members learn by doing—giving speeches, taking on meeting roles, and receiving constructive feedback. 

Why You Should Consider Toastmasters: People join Toastmasters to build confidence, improve public speaking, and develop leadership skills in a supportive, low-pressure environment. Most clubs welcome visitors, so you can experience the atmosphere before deciding to join. It’s an investment in personal and professional growth that pays lifelong dividends.

How: To get started, simply visit toastmasters.org to find a nearby club or attend a virtual meeting as a guest.


About District 36: District 36 is a collection of clubs spanning Washington DC, Montgomery and Prince George's Counties in Maryland. The District has a rich history and storied traditions, continuing to develop new leaders and inspiring public speakers every day.
