The Miami-Dade Urban Debate League (MDUDL) is the local chapter of the National Association for Urban Debate Leagues (NAUDL). MDUDL is aimed at building a local community of active individuals committed to teaching urban youth to think, communicate, collaborate and love learning through the academic activity of policy debate. MDUDL is the only organization bringing 2 v. 2 policy debate to Title I schools in Miami-Dade County.

This year, two of our MDUDL teams qualified to compete in NAUDL's marquee event, the Urban Debate National Championship, and we are asking for your support to help our great teams attend!

The tournament will be held April 10–14 at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. This event is the pinnacle of the competitive season for urban debate leagues across the country. To earn a spot at Harvard, our students had to qualify through a rigorous series of league-sponsored tournaments throughout the year. It is a genuine achievement just to make it to the National Championship, and we are so proud of our qualifying teams.

For those willing and able to contribute, your donation will help cover travel, lodging, registration, and preparation costs for our students to represent Miami-Dade on one of the most prestigious academic competition stages in the world. Every dollar makes a direct difference. Please consider supporting our students today. Thank you for investing in the next generation of critical thinkers and leaders.
