| Geographic Area Serving: Cary / Raleigh, North Carolina |
| Description: Speak Out North Carolina is a Christian Speech club for homeschooled students. We support the mission of the National Christian Forensics and Communications Association (NCFCA), which states that formal speech and debate can provide a means for homeschooled students to learn and exercise analytical and oratorical skills, addressing life issues from a Biblical worldview in a manner that glorifies God. The mission of Speak Out North Carolina is to facilitate the training necessary to raise up the next generation of Godly leaders who demonstrate Christ-like love manifested through a servant's heart.
|
| Requirements: The purpose of the Speech club is to train and prepare students for speech tournaments. Meetings will begin on time! Please plan to arrive a few minutes early to get settled so you don’t miss out on important announcements or valuable training time. We are volunteering our time and we want to make the best use of it while we are together.The club hopes to provides instruction, practice sessions and critiquing for the NCFCA speech categories. This will be accomplished cooperatively with both parents and students providing feedback and assistance as needed. Weekly meetings may include teaching time and small group exercise/practice time with parent coaches/assistants. Each week students may be given assignments to work on at home. We will communicate these assignments in writing and we hope that parents will assist their students to ensure that work is completed. Student success requires parental involvement! If at all possible, parents are encouraged to attend meetings with their students. This is especially important for those who have never competed before.
|
| Benefits: WE have a communications loop which serves to inform parents about various activities and training that is available in our area.
