What is Toastmasters?

Join an Online Meeting
In light of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), Toastmasters clubs around the world are holding online meetings. Whether you are interested in joining Toastmasters or a current member looking to continue your journey, online meetings are a great way to accomplish your goals and achieve personal and professional growth!
Online Meetings
A Toastmasters club provides its members with a safe and supportive environment to become better communicators, leaders, and public speakers. For many, their club gives them a sense of belonging. In light of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), many clubs are no longer able to meet in person and are now meeting online to protect the safety and well-being of its members.
By transitioning to online meetings, clubs allow their members to continue pursuing their goals and provide human interaction that they might not otherwise get. While many aspects of personal and professional lives have been disrupted, we hope Toastmasters clubs can meet online and provide a sense of normalcy to our members.
