The Hobart Penguin Group
The Penguin Club was founded in Sydney in 1937 by women for women. It was one of the first organisations to give women the opportunity to develop communication skills, in an era when women were not active in public life. We are a national organisation with a collaborative structure. Local groups of up to 20 women meet throughout metropolitan and country areas.
Getting Involved
At our group meetings the emphasis is on participation and practice. With administration at a minimum, there is more time for members to practise prepared and impromptu speeches, participate in workshops, gain experience running meetings and generally gain confidence in communicating.
The Penguin Club gives members the guidance and opportunities to develop the confidence and communication skills needed to hold office in business and community organisations, and to fulfill their personal goals. We offer a supportive network based on the values of friendship, integrity and respect.
Our members contribute to the community by presenting workshops, coaching young people in public speaking skills and volunteering to assist refugee women to develop their English speaking skills.
