Read about our ALUMNI SPOTLIGHTS. We believe debate to be a transformative experience that empowers students to become thoughtful, productive and responsible citizens in a diverse and democratic society. The need for more engaged and informed citizens could not be more dire than it has been in recent times. In a world of such profound loss, we have been diligently making strides to continue our work helping prepare youth for successful lives.

Our work fosters civic engagement and participation, teaching students how to present their positions in a productive and effective manner, while taking proactive roles in driving change in their local communities. COVID-19 did not stop our mission of engaging students in debate. We created an on-line debate forum over the summer which allowed us to showcase our programs and services to a larger audience.

The world of speech and debate has had to undergo monumental and unprecedented changes during the pandemic, and we need your help! Read about our ALUMNI Spotlights.
