The Debate Group
Subsidizing debate education
Debate is expensive. From coaches to travel fees to preparation resources, there are structural barriers to an equitable activity. We hope to reduce these barriers, giving every student the fair chance they deserve.
Our New Program
With our new mentor program, we have expanded to over 8 countries globally. Our collaboration with The Debate Hotline and Outreach Debate will make our mentor program the largest in the history of debate.
Students Stay Satisfied.
