Our Club<\/h2>\n

The Heidelberg International Toastmasters Club is not a German registered association, but a worldwide nonprofit organization: Toastmasters international.<\/strong> The local clubs, such as the Heidelberg clubs, organize their sessions, contests and other events themselves and oversee only their own members.<\/p>\n

Every club member has access to the Toastmasters educational program, both online and in print. In addition to this there are many more resources available on the Toastmasters International website, such as educational videos (largely in English).<\/p>\n

Members of a club are also welcome in all other Toastmasters Clubs across the globe. The membership fee for our Heidelberg Toastmasters Club is 180 Euros per year, plus a one-time entrance fee of 20 Euros.<\/p>\n
