The Toastmasters Youth Leadership Program for Red Cross “was developed to help San Diego’s Red Cross Student Volunteers improve their leadership and communications skills”, according to Red Cross SDIC Youth Services Intern Jane Shapiro. Over an eight week program, these passionate volunteers experienced the best of Toastmasters International, “learning and mastering the skills of developing and presenting a speech, improve their listening skills, as well as how to evaluate and work as teams to solve problems”.
The success of this partnership has not gone unnoticed;
“After witnessing how our Youth volunteers have improved their leadership and communications skills in just 8 weeks, the San Diego Red Cross and Imperial Counties Chapter is extremely impressed,” said Gina Marino, Sr. Volunteer Engagement Specialist, San Diego Red Cross and Imperial Counties. “In fact, we are now recommending that Red Cross organizations throughout the country take advantage of this to reach out to their local Toastmaster Clubs and institute similar programs for their student volunteers as well. This rollout is already in progress.”
“The Toastmaster International Youth Leadership program has been evolving for decades, inspiring and teaching kids in high school to become better speakers, evaluators and leaders,” explains Michelle Lagos-Young, Area Governor, Area 5 Toastmasters. “We are excited to see this program being rolled out by the Red Cross to train and motivate the future leaders of our country.”
