Our youth speaking program Speak-Tank has now been named Echo Academy. We are excited to announce our first group of sessions this new year in January. These sessions are taught by Sai Keertana Ganta and Arshia Sinha. The program is open to all 3rd-6th graders looking to expand their public speaking skills. To showcase what the students have learned throughout the course, the grand finale will be a huge public presentation! Details on the event will be coming soon. We are unfortunately fully booked for the first quarter but stay tuned for upcoming registrations!
