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.
