The Lifelong Importance of Public Speaking

Public speaking is essential beyond the classroom—teens use it in college for presentations and discussions, and later in the workplace for interviews, networking, and leadership. It builds self-confidence and critical thinking by teaching teens to respond confidently and express ideas clearly. These skills support personal growth, social success, and help teens become effective communicators who stand out in any setting.
