Mission and Principles
Mission
To facilitate participation in organized debate activities for as many urban students as possible
Scope
The NAUDL serves urban public school systems within the United States.
Urban Debate Leagues currently operate in school systems with approximately
87% people of color and 78% low-income student populations. Eligibility
will be recognized primarily by those who define their province as
urban, as long as their student demographic includes no less than
40% of Title I (i.e., economically disadvantaged) students.
