Attention Teachers and Administrators Picture This!
You’re still thinking about the email sent to you from the principal last week. Not to mention you have a 1,000 things to do from the week before! And that’s before you even check attendance for the day.
“I want you to find the PERFECT youth speaker for our next school assembly!”
“We want someone who’s engaging, someone who is entertaining, someone who has experience speaking to our age range of scholars and someone who has a message that represents the culture and goals of our school. Oh! And make sure it’s someone who can address some of the issues with a few students. Also, you’ve only got $1,100 to spend!!!”
“I’ll need a few names by the end of the week.”
(In Short, You’ve been ask to do something added on the 1000 things you are required to do daily)
After all, the reputation of your school and you are on the line.
On the one hand, you don’t want to end up promising a great youth speaker for your school’s assembly hiring a individual that is better suited for a kid party.
On the other hand, while you know many great youth speakers often charge thousands of dollars for an assembly and/or convocation you still want to honor your principal’s request and be smart with the budget you’ve been given.
You’re still thinking about the email sent to you from the principal last week.
Before all of the students arrived early in the morning.
Before you even check each student in for the day.
“I want you to hire the PERFECT youth speaker for our next school assembly,”?
“Someone who’s engaging, someone who is entertaining, someone who is experienced and someone who has a message that represents the culture and goals of our school. And make sure it’s someone who can address some of the issues with a few students. Also, you’ve only got $1,100 to spend!!!”

With more than 20 years experience presenting educational and entertaining school assemblies and convocations helping schools and youth organizations. I know that finding “just the right youth speaker at just the right price (and FAST!)” can feel like an impossible task.
While I would love you to hire me The Magic Motivator – Jamahl Keyes to present my award winning “The Magic In You” school assembly presentations to your scholars, if you don’t hire me in my experience there’s really 5 THINGS YOU LOOK FOR, when hiring a youth speaker without breaking your budget.
And once you understand these 5 factors, you’ll be able to boost everyone’s reputation (including your own) AND have plenty of money left over in your school budget.
It is very, very, very rare for a seasoned youth speaker (like myself) create this type of a article. Many other youth speakers, school assembly presenters and speaker agencies DO NOT want you to know this information. The ideas and strategies in this article will save you time and most of all money.
The 5 Things You MUST Look For Before Hiring A Youth Speaker:
This is important because the last thing you need is a youth speaker that tells great stories and captures the imagination of your students, but doesn’t know what they are talking about.
In short if you hired a youth speaker to talk about the importance of leadership and they end up talking about bullying this can be very problematic.
You want to hire someone with a very solid track record as a presenter. Ask them for some references and maybe even testimonials to give you a better idea of their reputation as a youth speaker and presenter.
This is one that is sometimes looked over but is very important. Why? Because looking at a video highlight of the youth speaker you are potentially looking to hire gives you a better idea of there speaking style.
You don’t want to hire a youth speaker that has experience only speaking to elementary age students to speak to your High School students. A seasoned youth speaker knows how to change their stories, visuals and jokes to accommodate each age group of students.
If you’re looking to make your school assembly and/or convocation Unforgettable, hiring a youth speaker that can put your specific needs and wants in his or her presentation will make your convocation memorable and fun.
