Why join

A club built around you

Bilingual, hybrid, and built on mentorship — here's what makes ELIO different.

What sets us apart

Designed for real growth

Meet in English or French, in person or online. And here's what makes us different: we grow through collaboration, not tutoring. Every member is paired with a mentor who's invested in your progress.

  • Bilingual by design

    Speak and lead in English or French — whichever grows you most.

  • Hybrid & online

    Join from the room or from home. Every meeting works both ways.

  • A mentor for everyone

    You're paired with a mentor from day one — we learn together, not at you.

Pathways

Choose a path that fits your goal

Pathways is Toastmasters' learning program. You choose a path aligned to your goal, then learn by doing — a series of real speech and leadership projects across five levels, at your own pace, in English or French. You're never doing it alone: a mentor works alongside you the whole way. These six are a starting point; Toastmasters offers more.
