I think I have made tremendous improvement in my public speaking in the workshop because I learned better techniques to use (eye contact, voice volume etc.) when I am speaking to an audience or a crowd.

Our Partners
SPEAK is working with RDI to launch debate competitions and tournaments all across the Richmond area to promote the art of debate for youth all around the state.
I’m Determined is a VDOE-sponsored organization which provides free education for children with disabilities. SPEAK has been working with them to create a curriculum specially designed to help these students overcome fears of speaking in large crowds and become more confident.
By joining forces with one of the most renowned after school programs in the country, SPEAK and the Boys and Girls Club have partnered to provide free public speaking classes to underprivileged youth throughout the metro Richmond area.
SPEAK is partnered with the Richmond Forum's speech and debate initiative in order to provide more debate and speech classes and programs across the RVA community
SPEAK works with the LAUSD to provide workshops to underprivileged students throughout the greater Los Angeles area. The participants learn about presentational skills which better prepared them for higher level education and self-advocacy.
SPEAK partnered with the PPS to help teach over 60 students from the community about the finer tips of public speaking and how to project confidence while talking in front of large crowds.
SPEAK works with the SCLP Samaj School to provide programs for over 300 students in rural and urban areas around Nairobi, Kenya. Our partnership has provided a long lasting relationship with the area and helped almost 200 students, with the potential to serve hundreds more.
The organization works with several students to help them overcome their natural apprehension when it comes to public speaking. Throughout the workshops, the students are now able to constantly take initiative and are more willing to speak out in front of larger crowds.
SPEAK conducted a debate program at RCHS to help teach kids about the fundamentals and intricacies of structured debate. This was part of the SPEAK initiative to bring debate programs to every school in Virginia.
