United Speakers is more than an opportunity to develop your public speaking skills, it is also an opportunity for the youth to interact with each other and gain skill sets such as leadership, collaboration, and critical thinking which are going to be eternally applicable to everyday life. Every class is a chance for members to push themselves to overcome the challenges and struggles with a supportive executive team by their side. We hope that United Speakers is able to transform the way the youth view public speaking and will work relentlessly to help students feel comfortable presenting their thoughts and opinions to an audience.

What is USG Shanghai?

USG Shanghai is a non-profit program that aims to spread awareness toward the importance and significance of public speaking skills and hopes to help develop a more confident and intellectual community across Asia. This program welcomes students in grades 4 through 8 and is organized into two groups based on age and existing skill levels: one for grades 4-5 and another for grades 6-8, each consisting of approximately 8 students. Unlike traditional learning programs, USG Shanghai hopes to help students thrive in public speaking by using creative and unconventional modes of teaching in order to help members advance with the support of our driven and welcoming executive team!
