Programs for Youth Ages 8-12
Safety Builds Confidence
Our programs and events help young speakers gain skills and comfort with public speaking.
We make public speaking fun by teaching skills through games, projects, practice, and events!
Students choose debate, storytelling, poetry, advocacy speeches, acting, pitches, and impromptu speaking. Programs include summer camps and weekend practices that build up to showcases and tournaments.
How to Work With Us
Option 1
Sign up for an “in-house” program or event from the calendar below. In-house programs and events are typically open to all experience levels.
Option 2
Bring a weekly program to your school site. We work with school PTAs, principals, donors, and districts to fund programs.
Option 3
If you don’t see a date or offering that works for you, contact us for a 10-minute call. We can set up a private session for individual students or a group of up to 5 friends (depending on availability).
Private Lessons
If your child doesn’t have a speech & debate team at their school or wants to squeeze in a little extra practice time before a tournament, our Youth Private Lessons are the perfect opportunity. Private lessons are completely customizable and tailored to your child’s needs and goals.
