What we’re about
Tell Compelling Stories. Build Confidence. Connect Through Story.
Welcome to Storytellers Toastmasters — a virtual public speaking club where we use storytelling to grow as communicators, leaders, and listeners.

💻 Meetings are held online via Zoom. Just RSVP to attend — we’d love to meet you!

What You'll Experience at a Meeting:
- Structured Format (2 Hours) – We begin with a warm welcome and ground rules, then move into a full agenda of speeches, feedback, and interactive segments led by club members.
- Story Topics (our version of Table Topics) – A chance to respond to fun, thought-provoking prompts with a spontaneous 1–2 minute story. Guests are welcome to participate!
- Friendly, Supportive Atmosphere – Whether you speak or just observe, you’ll walk away inspired.
