Serve as a club officer for 12 months, participate in the preparation of a Club Success Plan, and participate in a district-sponsored club officer training program. (If your club has six-month terms for officers, you can fulfill this requirement by serving as a club officer twice, but you don't have to do it in consecutive terms.) Serve a complete one-year term as a district officer.** Serve successfully as a club mentor or coach.** Serve successfully as a club sponsor or conduct a Speechcraft or Youth Leadership program. Complete the DTM project. (Members are required to create and implement a project of their own design, in which they demonstrate the skills and expertise they have gained.)
According to the dictionary, a mentor is a wise, loyal advisor. As a mentor, you have the opportunity to share your wisdom, knowledge, and experience with a new Toastmaster who wants to learn, grow, and achieve. Most new members join Toastmasters because they have problems and/or needs that relate to public speaking.
