This fall, University City Public Library will be offering a free, interactive, 8-week course in the Art of Communication and Leadership taught by a member of Toastmasters International, a public speaking organization.

Each participant will learn to give perspective, feedback and encouragement in a supportive environment. If something doesn’t work, Youth Leaders will be encouraged to try a new approach.

Every participant will be given a variety of roles and assignments, culminating in a celebration of their growth the final week. The opportunities for everyone to grow are endless!

Advance Registration is Required. The minimum size for the class is 10 participants.
