Augusta's community club for communication and leadership - welcoming, supportive, and always growing. 

Celebrating 50 years in 2026-2027 - Chartered March 1977

WHO WE ARE

Augusta's home for confident communicators

Kennebec Valley Toastmasters has been a vital part of the Augusta community since March 1977. We're a welcoming space for anyone looking to enhance their communication and leadership skills - whether you're a student, a retiree, or anywhere in between. 

As a proud member of the community, we're woven into the fabric of this wonderful community. As the times have changed, so have we - evolving from traditional in-person only meetings, to flexible formats so more people can participate. 

No matter who you're speaking to - a board of directors, clients, co-workers, or even your kids - KVTM will help you communicate with confidence and clarity.

Toastmasters International's Pathways program is entirely self-directed. Choose a learning path that matches your goals, complete projects at a pace that works for you, and celebrate every milestone along the way. There's no rush - just growth. 

Mark your calendar - 50th anniversary year begins July 2026!

The 2026-2027 Toastmasters year kicks off our Golden Anniversary. We'd love for you to be a part of it - as a guest, a new member, or a returning friend.
