All across the Bay Area, we are
MAKING MOVES!
$1,000 supports a year of debate for a student in an under-resourced schools.
For the past 2 years:
- 100% of our seniors have graduated
- 100% were accepted to college
- Our students earned over $1 million in scholarships
- We have served 1,000 under-resourced youth
- We offered hundreds of students free financial literacy, college prep, SAT training, & tournaments
Our program is FREE for students who qualify.
The Bay Area Urban Debate League provides FOOD, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, TRANSPORTATION, COMMUNITY SERVICE, MENTORING, TUTORING, ALUMNI SUPPORT, CREDIT RECOVERY, INTERNSHIPS, and a host of other programs to engage marginalized youth.
Critical reading, thoughtful speaking, and original research are skills that debaters spend countless hours of their own time mastering. In practices, tournaments, and late-night study sessions, students teach their peers about political arguments by decoding, interpreting, summarizing, and responding to difficult texts. A study of urban debate showed that students with a year of debate improved over 60% more than non-debaters on a reading test; young people in a study cutting across six UDLs improved their GPA by 8-10% per year on average.
