Welcome to Pathways!

Welcome to the Toastmasters Pathways learning experience, an exciting, flexible and interactive way to develop your skills and help others in your club develop theirs. Pathways helps you learn communication and leadership skills that you need to succeed. It gives you:

The opportunity to build up to 300 unique competencies
11 specialized learning paths to choose from
Online content, so that you can learn anytime, anywhere
Real-world, transferable skills

Are you stuck in your Path?

Some members have found they have "stalled out" when they reached Levels 4 and 5 in Pathways, in that they struggle coming up with ideas for projects to complete. We polled District 54 members who have achieved Level 4 and/or Level 5, and have compiled a list of more than 60 projects that may give you ideas to help re-energize your Pathways journey. Enjoy your journey!
