Toastmasters or Debate for Young Kids
Hello! I am looking for recommendations of classes, clubs or groups that help develop comfort around public speaking and leadership, something like Toastmasters or debate club, but for younger kids around 8-14. We live in Oakland so looking for things within reasonable driving distance in any direction (except across the bridge). Thank you!

The Berkeley & Albany YMCAs had or have a Model UN program for middle schoolers that my kids did 3 years ago. Not sure it's still around. It was not the best organized but they did some stuff leading up to a small conference (that's the MUN term for the mock UN session).
