Middle School Public Speaking Workshop: Leaders 4 Social Change

Join us in Boston, MA on Sunday, June 24th for United 4 SOCIAL CHANGE’s PUBLIC SPEAKING WORKSHOP FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS. We will spend the day teaching students SPEAKING AND ADVOCACY SKILLS TO DEVELOP THEM INTO STRONG AND CONFIDENT PUBLIC SPEAKERS. We will also examine basic and advanced concepts in SOCIAL ADVOCACY. By the end of the WORKSHOP, students will have a speech ready to be given on a topic of their choice. WORKSHOP DAY WILL RUN FROM 10AM TO 4:00pm. Refreshments and lunch will be provided. Students should bring a laptop or tablet upon which they can comfortably type. Please get in touch with us beforehand if that is an issue, we will arrange for alternatives for as many students as possible. Students will be allowed to choose their own area of interest for writing a speech. Possible topics can be, but are not limited to, women’s rights in China, the race divide in Hollywood, and environmental issues affecting our world. Students will receive a personalized certificate of completion. We have a limited number of spots due to the individualized nature of our program! Cost The cost of the WORKSHOP IS JUST $10 and covers the entry fee and food. (We always try our best to accommodate those who cannot afford this. Please feel free to get in touch with me at pritens@united4socialchange.com, and we will work something out!) The Democracy Center is partially wheelchair accessible, no accessible bathroom on site. The Mandela, Parks, and Chavez rooms are accessible, but the Library is not. Wheelchair users are welcome to use the accessible restroom at Daedalus while we plan our improvements for bathroom accessibility. To reach that bathroom, exit the ramp and turn left on Bow St, at the next building (Daedalus) use their accessible entrance and their restroom will be on the right.
