Overview

NAUDL’s I RESOLVE Public Debate Series returns this fall with four partner leagues. I RESOLVE showcases the power of debate for a public audience, exploring some of the most pressing issues in our society through the perspective, voice and values of the next generation of leaders — high school debaters. The program also demonstrates our mission: advancing debate education in public schools to amplify youth voices and developing confidence for future success.

This year, each league will debate a component of electoral reform. The events will be 90-minute programs centered around student proposed solutions, expert feedback and discussion, and Q&A via a panel of distinguished civic and community leaders from the respective host league. An audience of teammates, school district and league leaders, NAUDL and league donors, partners, and champions of debate is invited to join each event.

All events in the series will be complimentary thanks to the support of our generous sponsors. Questions about I RESOLVE? Contact sarasanchez@urbandebate.org.
