This free 5-week program welcomes young students ages 8 to 11 who are interested in building their confidence in public speaking and receiving in-depth coaching on spoken performances. We welcome students with all levels of experience and will work with them on informational presentations, storytelling, monologue and scene acting, and beginning debate. Students will work primarily with Executive Director, AnnMarie Baines, in addition to guest instructors and youth mentors.

Young speakers get to know other students from all over the Bay Area and have a chance to practice their speaking in preparation for later joining our Distinguished Speakers team. Students also have the option of performing in a small final showcase for families and community members. We welcome students of all levels of experience — repeat students are more than welcome to join and bring their friends!
