At Toastmasters, members learn by speaking to group of audience and working with fellow members in a supportive environment. A typical Toastmasters club is made up of 20 to 40 members who meet twice a month for about two hours.

In each Toastmasters meeting, members can take different roles.

Each meeting gives everyone an opportunity to practice:

Prepared speech - members present speeches based on projects from the Toastmasters International Communication manuals. Projects cover such topics as speech organization, voice, language, gestures, persuasion etc

Impromptu speaking - members present one-to two-minute speeches on assigned topics without prior preparation. It helps to train speakers to think on their feet.

Evaluations - Every prepared speaker is assigned an evaluator who points out speech strengths and offers suggestions for improvement. Speech Evaluators learn to provide effective and constructive feedback to other.

Upon completion of the basic Communication and Leadership programs, Toastmasters may participate in the advanced programs. In the advance Communication program, participants may choose from specific business oriented topics such as Speeches by Management and Technical Presentations.
