Toastmasters International is a nonprofit educational organization
that builds confidence and teaches public speaking skills through a
worldwide network of clubs that meet online and in person. In a
supportive community or corporate environment, members prepare
and deliver speeches, respond to impromptu questions, and give and
receive constructive feedback. It is through this regular practice that
members are empowered to meet personal and professional communication goals. Founded in 1924, the organization is
headquartered in Englewood, Colorado, with approximately 270,000
members in more than 14,000 clubs in 150 countries.
