Get started to hire youth speaker Charles Clark

For eleven years, Charles Clark has been a top recommended youth motivational speaker for teens across America. 

As a kid, and prior to his success as a world-class athlete, Charles didn't thrive in school. He struggled to get passable grades, dealt with bullying, and lacked confidence. The sport of track and field became a pivotal element in building Charles’ self-esteem. 
 
After sitting out a college semester and fearing he would never make it into a school, Charles passed the ACT by a single point. He secured a full scholarship to Florida State University, became the first in his family to graduate, and was recognized as a three-time National Champion and the 6th fastest man in the world. 
 
“Not every student is an athlete, but all students are dreamers” has become a repeated motto of Charles with the youth he interacts with. 
 
With each youth event he attends, Charles shares a relatable message that encourages teens to break down fear to build resilience and become young leaders inside and outside of the classroom.
