The first meeting with the (AKAdemy) students was truly amazing. All the students received the Toastmaster Youth Leadership manual.
We must thank the Speak Easy Toastmasters club #4698 for supporting and supplying the YLP manuals.
Truthfully it is so hard to put into words how important teaching public speaking and leadership is. Without the amazing support of AKAdemy and Speak Easy Toastmasters, in Pinellas Park, the YLP would be so much harder.
Last night all students age's 14-18 came to the front of the room and presented their first speech the Ice Breaker (IB). The IB is a speech about you. These students did a remarkable job with no knowledge they were going to be asked to stand in front of the room and tell their story.
This program is possible because of the dedication of Cassandra Williams, and Denise Smith- AKAdemy. Also thank you to Felicia Pizanna-Contract Manager w/Juvenile Welfare Board, for her visit.

Building a Toolbox
- The vision board
- Extemporaneous / impromptu speaking-called Table Topics (T T)
- Your first speech - title: About Me
- Learning the art of speech evaluation

The goals of each meeting:
- A fun way for your children to learn public speaking.
- Creating and learning how to answer those extemporaneous questions, build speeches, present speeches and evaluate speeches.
- Lots of emphasis on the use of filler words, such as like, and,so, also overcoming the use of hums & ah's.
- The program is based on weekly participation, if possible. Becoming a good speaker is work and the more often the child speaks, the quicker their confidence will grow.
- Experience growth with guest speakers, evaluations by experienced speakers, and continuing mentor-ship.
- At each meeting the children actively participate in evaluating each other.
- This will be a continuing program.
Timing: each meeting will have an assigned timer
- T T : up to 1 minute
- Speeches: 2-3 minutes
