Mic Check

Mic Check is a dynamic public speaking and performance program that helps students find their voice, tell their story, and move an audience with confidence and purpose. Through storytelling, speech development, spoken word, live performance, and audience engagement, students learn how to organize their ideas, communicate effectively, and confidently express their unique perspectives in front of others.

Mic Check transforms K-12 students from passive learners into powerful public speakers, communicators, and leaders, so every student can Find Their Voice. Tell Their Story. Move The Crowd.
