How it Works @ Toastmasters Club

  1. Join us for a few meetings and experience a setting where individuals speak in front of an audience.
  2. Take a short evaluation test based on your personal goals.  
  3. Based on your personal goals, a custom-made system (PATHWAYS) will be available to every individual who becomes a La Palma Toastmasters member.
  4. The members meet in person weekly on Thursday.
  5. A mentor will be available to assist in your journey to elevate your skills.
