The Pathways learning experience is Toastmasters’ education program. Pathways focuses on five core competencies and 11 specialized learning paths, with more to come. Each member receives one free path to start, and they are able to work on multiple paths at the same time. When you first log into Base Camp, which is the home of Pathways, you can take an assessment that will recommend three paths for you. You are free to choose any path you want! All resources and projects are available online or in print. Best of all, you can work at your own pace and along the way, you will build professional skills. The combination of the Pathways learning experience with the supportive environment found in our club is what makes Toastmasters such a powerful tool.

*Pathways is available in Arabic, English, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Tamil, and Traditional Chinese. If any of these alternative languages apply to your club, mention their availability*

The learning doesn’t stop at the club. Active members receive a subscription to the Toastmaster magazine, which is filled with guidance on public speaking, leadership, featured articles on fellow Toastmasters, and much more. Toastmasters offers the opportunity to compete in a speech contest, which culminates in finalists competing in the World Championship of Public Speaking®. This contest is held at the Toastmasters International Convention, which also features education sessions and a chance to cast your club’s vote on important business matters at the Annual Business Meeting. We also provides district conferences, where you can meet fellow Toastmasters in the area and connect with them. There’s also a lot of helpful resources for you to access if you visit the Toastmasters website.
