YLP Participant

The MIM Toastmasters 2-day programme was a transformative experience for my son, Siedharrth Prem, boosting his confidence in public speaking. He learned to craft well-structured speeches under time constraints while gaining insights from expert facilitators and peers. It was an enriching experience with a lasting impact on his personal growth. Thank you, MIM!

Ms. Kanaga

As a parent, I was amazed at the growth I saw in my daughter after the YLP workshop. In just two days, she went from being hesitant to speak up to confidently delivering a speech in front of a room full of people. The programme not only helped her communicate better but also nurtured her leadership potential. I’m truly grateful to MIM and Toastmasters for creating such a valuable opportunity for our youth.
