Toastmasters International is a voluntary organisation. Its aims are very straightforward:
to help its members become good public speakers and develop leadership skills.

Toastmasters is not affiliated to any political, religious or commercial organisation.

However, you'll often hear of famous politicians, thought leaders, business personalities and other celebrities who've either been through the Toastmasters program, or who are still active Toastmasters. That's because Toastmasters clubs around the world have been the training ground of choice for public speakers for generations.

Unfortunately, no. Toastmasters International rules specify that new members must be at least 18 years of age.

However, some Toastmasters clubs run special, 8 week youth programs from time to time. These are called Youth Leadership Programs.

You can learn more about the Youth Programs here:Toastmasters Youth Leadership.
