Who are we?

Utrecht Toastmasters is a Toastmasters club for English speakers. It is a chartered member of the worldwide Toastmasters Organization.

Toastmasters is a non-profit training and educational organization with the objective to enhance its members’ communication, leadership, training and management skills. Toastmasters is the largest and most successful organization of this type in the world with approximately 200,000 members in over 10,000 clubs in 80 countries.

Speeches in English Both native English speakers as well as individuals with a reasonable command of the English language are invited to participate. For non-native English speakers, this is a way to gain confidence in giving speeches in a foreign language as well as a means to improve on presentation and leadership techniques. Native speakers will generally purely focus on perfecting presentation and management skills.

Supporting your peers Toastmasters does not provide paid trainers, teachers or managers but is based on peers who support you on your road to better communication. However, Toastmaster members are often from the business or educational field with experience and a need to improve on communication and management skills. It is the club's members who share experiences, skills and provide support to those who practice speeches by evaluating and providing honest but also motivating feedback. This is all done in a familiar and friendly setting.

An international mix of nationalities Utrecht Toastmasters is proud of its international membership, now including twelve different nationalities, e.g. UK, USA, Ireland, Curacao, Iran, the Netherlands, India, Italy and Pakistan. Many members are actively involved in the international business community. See for yourself
