Our Mission
Northwest Debate is dedicated to making speech and debate accessible to everyone, regardless of background. Whether you're new to debate or looking to sharpen your skills, we offer resources, guidance, and a supportive community. Our goal is to empower students from all walks of life to succeed in debate, even if they don't have access to professional coaching. Join us and discover your voice!
What we do
We make speech and debate accessible to everyone and provide programs and resources that empower individuals to engage in meaningful discourse and transformative change.
Why Debate?
American Debate League
“While only 50% of high school students in urban schools graduate, 90% of urban high school debaters graduate. What is more, 72% of high-risk secondary-school debaters graduate, versus just 43% of high-risk non-debaters. They also score better on ACT and SAT tests, get into better colleges, and perform better once in college. Furthermore, pupils do not need to debate forever to see results”
Stanford National Forensic Institute
“Debate teaches useful skills for other academic pursuits and life more generally. Most obviously, debaters build confidence speaking in public and expressing their ideas eloquently.”
