Membership
Every climber starts as a visitor.
There's nothing to apply for through this website: visit a meeting, see if the club is yours, then join in person.
The climb, step by step
- Visit. Come as a guest as many times as you like (see meetings).
- Decide and tell us. Tell any officer at a meeting, or message the club on Instagram, Facebook, or LinkedIn.
- Fill in the (short) paperwork. Your name goes on the club roster and into Toastmasters International's system; dues are paid then, pro-rated to the current membership term — the officers share the current figure when you ask.
- Get a mentor and book your first speech. Your Ice Breaker — the first — is short, and the room is on your side by design.
What it costs
The dues: pro-rated to the current membership term — the exact amount depends on when in the term you join. Ask at the meeting; the officers share the figure then.
What they cover: the club's own costs, and the Toastmasters International membership, whose dues stay current on TI's own membership page.
Visiting costs nothing — as many times as you like. Most members decided after three visits.
The flight plan exists.

Someone who's flown before sits beside you.
What you'll actually do
Toastmasters International's education program, Pathways, works like a flight curriculum: you pick a path (public speaking, leadership, or a mix), and it lines up your projects — speeches of growing ambition, meeting roles, and leadership assignments. You fly at your own pace; the club keeps you company.
Adventurers' own habits: members self-select their meeting roles and sign up to speak when they're ready — nobody is marched to the microphone. Meetings average about a dozen people, so speech nights come often, and the room keeps its long reputation for being friendly, welcoming and supportive.
