DYNAMIC YOUTH IN ACTION · SUMMER 2026
Six weeks.
Skills that travel.
Over six weeks, Club 1600 members worked with young people through Dynamic Youth in Action, an organization serving at-risk youth. The sessions focused on practical development — entrepreneurship, communication and job readiness — taking the same skills practised inside Toastmasters into a room where they could matter immediately.
See opportunity. Build value.
Introducing young people to entrepreneurial thinking, problem-solving and the discipline of turning ideas into practical value.
Own your message.
Helping participants express ideas clearly, speak with confidence and understand how communication shapes opportunity.
Walk in prepared.
Practical preparation for the workplace: presentation, professionalism, communication and the habits that influence first impressions.

Intergenerational development has always been part of the Club 1600 experience — inside the club and beyond it.
Communication meets commerce.
Business and leadership initiatives connect speaking, mentorship, networking and practical opportunity.
