Find Your Voice: Public Speaking Workshop with Carmen Leibel
May 14 | 6–8 pm | YWCA Edmonton – Cushing House
For girls and gender-diverse youth ages 10–14
$5 (subsidies available)
Public speaking isn’t just for the stage – it’s a lifelong skill that helps young people speak up in class, navigate tough conversations, and lead with confidence. Yet most kids this age haven’t had the chance to build those skills in a safe, supportive setting.
This workshop is that opportunity.
Led by award-winning journalist and Project 5 founder Carmen Leibel, this engaging, hands-on session helps youth learn the art of crafting and delivering a powerful 30-second pitch. Through fun activities and guided coaching, participants will explore their strengths, reflect on their goals, and walk away with tools to express themselves with confidence and clarity.
This workshop is designed to help youth discover their voice, own it, and feel empowered to use it. YWCA Edmonton is committed to helping the next generation build the confidence they need to thrive. Don’t miss this chance to give them a skill that can shape their future.
Space is limited. Register now.
