Heya! Hi! This is gonna be a text heavy read.
TL;DR - You're in the right place. Check out the deets for the next meet. show up. attend more. apply for membership to the club officers, at the end of the meeting after you've attended a few. 'simble' :P

Here's the verbose version :P

Toastmasters International is a nonprofit educational organization that teaches public speaking and leadership skills through a worldwide network of clubs. Headquartered in Englewood, Colorado, the organization's membership is currently 280,000 members in more than 14,700 clubs across 144 countries.

You've come to the right place.
More than 5,000,000 people, since 1924, around the world have become more confident speakers and leaders because of Toastmasters.
SO. CAN. YOU. !!

Membership in Toastmasters in one of the greatest investments you can make in yourself.
How Does It Work?
A typical meeting lasts 90 – 120 minutes.
NO Trainers/Instructors/Teachers. Instead, members provide constructive feedback on each other's presentations.
POSITIVE FEEDBACK is a key part of the program's success.
The Toastmasters Education Program is based on a proven curriculum that enables you to develop your communication and leadership skills one step at a time. The program is built on four guiding principles that have been in place since Toastmasters was founded in 1924:
• Experiential Learning–we learn by doing; by giving speeches and fulfilling leadership roles, we practice and improve
• Self-paced Program–we learn best at our own pace and comfort level
• Peer Feedback–through honest and supportive peer evaluation, we grow and improve
• Mentoring–experienced members encourage, guide, and support us in our goals and help us to achieve more than we thought possible
The program comprises two tracks: Communication and Leadership. The two tracks are not mutually exclusive; you may participate in both at the same time if you wish. You progress through each track by completing a series of manuals that contain projects and evaluation guides. There are many opportunities for awards and recognition along the way.

11 REASONS TO JOIN
1. Discover a supportive community
Toastmasters is like AA (alcoholics anonymous) without the alcohol :P
Everyone is quite welcoming. You clap so much that you can’t feel your hands by the end of the session (and that's a good thing, it improves your blood circulation!). There is no booing, bickering, or badgering. There are only compliments and constructive feedback. At Toastmasters, you’re surrounded by a group of positive-thinking individuals that want to grow personally and professionally just as you do.

2. Strengthen your network
Joining Toastmasters provides you with the opportunity to meet people from all walks of life who have the drive to become successful. Networking and associating with such people reflects the caliber of person that you want to be.

3. Learn how to think on your feet
During the meeting, there is time allotted for table topics–an opportunity for members to give impromptu speeches based on a topic given by the moderator. Most of the speaking we do in our lives is spontaneous. We don’t often plan our conversations. We need to develop the ability to give an unrehearsed talk to our employees, children, bosses, associates, etc. Toastmasters can help you become more articulate even when improvising.

4. Learn how to present constructive criticism
Each session, there is a general evaluator who discusses how well the event was run by all the contributing members. Additionally, each speaker is given an evaluator. The evaluations are always done in a respectful and constructive manner. How many times in our lives do we have to break the bad news to people? Wouldn't it be nice if we knew how to offer feedback with a little more tact? Toastmasters can help!

5. Learn how to engage in civil debate
In some meetings, a discussion hosted by one of the members. Typically, the discussion will center around a chosen topic. Still, the conversation is always respectful and stimulating. Many times in our lives, we are confronted with people who think differently than us. We need to be able to engage them in conversation without being offensive but still being able to express ourselves authentically.

6. Add certification to your resume
At Toastmasters your achievements are acknowledged frequently because recognition increases motivation. You’ll earn digital badges and certificates as you progress through a path. When you complete your path(s), you receive the accolade of Proficient, signifying your demonstrated expertise. You can complete the Pathways Mentor Program and earn a credential. Toastmasters has two core types having various levels of certification - Communication and Leadership. The certifications run parallel to each other and culminate in the highest honor as the Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM).
The work that goes into acquiring these circumstances is arduous but a whole lot of fun. Having completion of one of these–especially the DTM–on your list of accomplishments is sure to catch the eyes of future employers.

7. Learn how to manage time more effectively
Every session in Toastmasters is time-managed to the second. One member serves as the timekeeper and tracks the time of every speech, every introduction, every evaluation, and every other activity that occurs. We all have only 24 hours in a day. It is those who use those 24 hours to the fullest that will become the most successful. But the question is in our day-to-day scenarios, do we really pay attention to how much time we are taking up?

8. Learn how to host an event
Did you ever play host for anything? Whether it’s a dinner party at your house or giving announcements at a social club, it can be difficult to keep names and events straight. There’s little worse than forgetting someone’s name in front of an audience. During each Toastmasters session, a member serves as “the Toastmaster,” or the one who moderates the session. It’s a great way to learn how to facilitate an event.

9. Expand your vocabulary
Every Toastmasters meeting includes a “word of the day,” selected by one of the members. Throughout the meeting, we attempt to use the word in the speeches and other activities. Every time the word is used, everyone acknowledges it with a "thumbs up" gesture. It’s hard not to learn new words with that kind of reinforcement. And we could all use new, more descriptive ways of explaining things in our lives.

10. Learn how to be concise
In the words of Shakespeare’s Polonius, “Brevity is the soul of wit.” If we can’t say what we mean in just a few words, we typically aren’t accurately communicating what we’re trying to say. Sometimes, we need to cut out the rambling and distill our words into only those that are most essential.

11. Become comfortable with public speaking
Toastmasters is known as a public speaking organization, and rightly so. That’s why most people join. The fear of public speaking is widely-known to be at the top of the list of most common fears. Yet, there are many occasions in our lives–regardless of our occupations–that require us to get up in front of people and give talks. The secret to overcoming this fear is, practice. It’s as simple as that. Toastmasters provides the occasion for practice in public speaking and, for that alone, it is worth considering. Want to say goodbye to knocking knees and perspiring palms?
