River’s Edge Toastmasters is a community club. We meet the 2nd and 4th Wednesday
of the month at the Clay County Chamber of Commerce located at 1734 Kingsley Avenue
in Orange Park, Florida.
Toastmasters is a great way to develop better communication and listening skills,
as well as leadership skills that can help your career! Learn how to:
- Excel at job interviews
- Give powerful business presentations
- Effectively teach training sessions
- Lead successful seminars
- Present persuasive opening arguments, summations, etc.
- Give humorous, informative or special occasion speeches
From a humble beginning in 1924 at the YMCA in Santa Ana, California, Toastmasters
International has grown to become a world leader in helping people become more competent
and comfortable in front of an audience. The nonprofit organization now has nearly
260,000 members in over 12,500 clubs in 113 countries, offering a proven – and enjoyable!
– way to practice and hone communication and leadership skills.
Most Toastmasters meetings are comprised of approximately 20 people who meet
weekly for an hour or two. Participants practice and learn skills by filling a meeting
role, ranging from giving a prepared speech or an impromptu one to serving as timer,
evaluator or grammarian.
There is no instructor; instead, each speech and meeting is critiqued by a member
in a positive manner, focusing on what was done right and what could be improved.
