Youth Speaks 2025

This competition is one of two public speaking competitions designed to encourage young people to develop their creative and presentation skills essential to the art of public speaking.

Details for the other competition, Rotary Youth Speaks - A Debate, will be available shortly.

For this public speaking competition, Rotary Youth Speaks, a team of 3 young people take on the roles of Chairperson, Speaker and the third person giving a Vote of Thanks.  Participants are free to choose the topic they want to talk about. A pre-selected member of the audience will also ask them a question after the speaker has presented.

The Rotary Youth Speaks competition may be run over three different stages: club level, district and cluster. For 2024-25 there will be no national final.

The competition is open to teams of 3 young people in either of these two age groups:

• Intermediate        11 – 13 years
• Senior                   14 – 17 years

Take a look at the Information Pack and the Rotary Youth Competition Guidelines for Rotarians for further details.
