Pathways

The Pathways program is the core of the Toastmasters educational experience. Through participation in Pathways at the club level and beyond, members develop the skills to achieve their communication and leadership goals.

Catalog & Kits

Our friends in District 4 have put together a comprehensive collection of information about the nuts and bolts of the Pathways program. Take some time to look through their Pathways catalog.

Additionally, Toastmaster Charlotte Drake has assembled a set of kits for most of the paths in the Pathways program. These are not official Pathways resources, and are not a replacement for tracking your progress in Base Camp, but many people have found them to be a helpful supplement as they transition into Pathways. You can download each kit in ZIP format below:
