Need somewhere to develop public speaking skills? Ventura Toastmasters Club 24 is for you

Tucked away in a backroom of the China Kitchen Restaurant in Ventura is a hidden gem. Ventura Toastmasters Club 24 meets (presently meets via zoom) every Monday evening at the China Kitchen, 4020 E. Main St, b2 from 6-8pm (pre-pandemic). My first time visiting this group I knew that this was my toastmaster’s club. I knew that this club was a place where I could work through fears of public speaking. Club 24 could help me expedite my personal growth. This group of people are a lively bunch, filled with encouraging words, support, and kindness. Feeling like I belong to a healthy family, this group met my needs to grow into a better speaker.

In 2019, we celebrated their 85th year of being active (pictured above). Can you imagine, the same club being around for 85 plus years, this is one of San Buenaventura’s finest heirlooms. When Covid hit, we continued to meet  every Monday via zoom. Over a year of zoom meetings and our club made, “President’s Distinguished Club”, this is an award that Toastmasters International recognizes as a club that represents high integrity. If you are looking for a place to grow in your speaking and leadership skills check us out, you can also look us up on Meetup or Facebook.

Toastmasters Mission Statement:

The mission of a toastmasters club is to provide a mutually supportive and positive learning environment in which every individual member has the opportunity to develop oral communication and leadership skills, which in turn foster self confidence and personal growth.
