Garnering interest in Oratorical competitions has been difficult in recent years so clubs may want to consider approaching elementary schools (grades 5 & 6) to start a "Kids Speak Out" program or club.
Clubs should visit our Programs Resources web page and click on the logo for the competition that they want to host to access the latest OI information for that competition.
