In 2010, Distinguished Toastmaster Kathleen Petrone founded the Academy for Public Speaking to empower children in San Diego to become confident, effective communicators.
Through the Academy for Public Speaking courses, camps, and private coaching sessions, children gain confidence as they improve their public speaking and leadership skills.
The Academy for Public Speaking has helped over 1,100 students in San Diego increase their confidence and communication skills. Academy for Public Speaking graduates have won over $10,000 in cash prizes and scholarships by competing in speech contests.
The Academy for Public Speaking spring Saturday classes will begin at the Hampton Inn Del Mar in San Diego on March 12, 2016. Registration for the spring public speaking courses is available on the Academy for Public Speaking website by clicking this link.
