ICC CHAPTERS
We go together because we’re better together.
We go together because we’re better together.
An ICC family chapter is a group of invested and committed families meeting weekly to equip their students to be ready to speak and to share their voices. These small, intergenerational community groups provide peer-coaching, real-world practice, and real-time feedback using ICC’s communication training and resources—tools that for over 25 years have empowered thousands in the next generation to become confident, character-driven communicators!
Through the chapter experience, adults are also provided tools and mentoring to help them become the best coaches they can be to their students and to those in their chapter.
Each week, chapter families gather together, either in person or online, to practice the skills they are learning. These meetings provide accountability and community for creating and delivering presentations and in giving and receiving feedback for improvement. Student-led, engaging activities make the learning energetic and fun.
The experienced students who lead these meetings grow their own speaking and leadership skills, being mentored by the certified Chapter Sponsor. At home, students will work on their presentations and activities in preparation for the next chapter meeting.
Because our mission is helping members get “ready to speak,” we include a training conference and a tournament in each student enrollment. Students are inspired by the modeling and mentoring they encounter at our Ready to Speak conferences and they get to practice all the skills they learn in chapter by participating in an ICC Forensics Society tournament.
The chapter year begins June 16, 2026 and ends June 15, 2027
When we’ve helped you find the chapter that’s the best fit for your family, the Chapter Sponsor of that group will walk you through enrolling your students.
Start by talking with the Chapter Sponsor. If you don’t know the sponsor, you can always email us at peoplecare@iccinc.org. You can find us often on Live Chat, also!
These are the times where we open “windows” so new members can join during the 2026–2027 chapter year.
