Speak at Western University

Speak Org was Founded at Western University in 2023 to help youth learn to deal with social anxiety and develop their communication skills. After COVID-19, many youth find it difficult to reconnect with their peers. We are on a mission to rekindle meaningful communication in an ever-increasingly disconnected world.

We develop essential communication skills for students to excel in personal, professional, and academic social situations. Our comprehensive platform provides opportunities for young individuals to learn and enhance their communication abilities.
