OUT LOUD: YSG ICCE CREAM SOCIAL

YSG stands for Young Speakers Guild. It is a three phase curriculum that ICC Chapter students from ages 11-18 may participate in. YSG books focus the student first on God and Scripture to meditate on and pray about the purpose they are speaking. After studying the Word, they move on to preparing for the audience that God has laid on their heart. This might include research, interviewing, reading, praying and discussing current issues. Once they have determined their message and their audience, they present these speeches to their audience in the community.

Each level of YSG that the student completes offers them more opportunity to serve in leadership with their chapter and at national events. Once a student completes all three phases of YSG, they may be inducted into the Young Speakers Guild. Because of the development of their character and competence through this program and their service within their chapter, community and ICC, they are then eligible for all new levels of opportunity nationally and internationally with ICC.

YSG students take public speaking to a whole new level. They are committed not just to character and competence development, but also to teaching, leading and serving in all areas.

Oh yeah....they also have a LOT of fun!!

We just had an ICCe Cream Social for the YSG students to get to know one another and to see how much fun public speaking can be. Once or twice a year, YSG students who complete a level of YSG will be invited to a party to celebrate their commitment and their progression.

If you have a student who is 11 older (or you ARE a student 11 or older), I hope that you will encourage them to grow through our YSG program. Feel free to contact me regarding any questions you might have! outloudjilly@gmail.com
