What is Toastmasters?

Toastmasters is an international organization that helps people improve their public speaking, practice effective communication and build leadership skills.

Why join Downtown Escondido Toastmasters

Downtown Escondido Toastmasters, a Smedley President's Distinguished club, provides a friendly, supportive space for members to overcome their fear of public speaking, build confidence, and sharpen leadership and improvisation skills. At each weekly gathering, members encourage each other and learn how to give and receive constructive feedback on speeches and presentations. 

Members also have the opportunity to build their organizational skills by taking on leadership roles. Members report using all of these communication skills at work and in their personal lives.

Best of all, our weekly themed meetings are both fun and educational!

Visitors welcome!

Guests are always welcome and attend free of charge. If you would like to visit one of our weekly gatherings, please let us know through this form. 

We ask that you arrive five to 10 minutes before the meeting begins, so that we can greet you and introduce you to some of our members. Our VP of Membership will be happy to answer questions before and after the meeting.
