FOR PARENTS & FAMILIES

Support Your Student’s Voice

The NH Lions Speak Out Speech Contest gives New Hampshire students ages 13–19 who are not yet in college a meaningful opportunity to build confidence, practice communication skills, and share their perspective on service in their community.

A Confidence-Building Opportunity

Public speaking can feel intimidating, but Speak Out gives students a supportive way to practice. Students do not need to be experienced speakers. They need their own perspective, a willingness to prepare, and encouragement from the adults around them.

Communication Skills

Students practice organizing their thoughts and speaking clearly.

Confidence

Students gain experience sharing ideas with a real audience.

Service & Leadership

Students explore how small acts of service can make a difference.

How You Can Help
