Urban Debate Education, Civic Engagement, Curriculum, Programs and Research, Leadership Development
NAUDL has built and supported a strong national network of urban debate leagues, making it possible for debate to grow in underserved communities. NAUDL pioneered the first and only successful model for sustainable leagues. Our goal is that, through the lessons, rigor and skills fostered by debate (e.g. communication, critical thinking, leadership development), students graduate from high school as engaged civic leaders with expanded academic interests and greater college and career opportunities. Today, NAUDL supports leagues in 22 cities (Atlanta, Baltimore, Bay Area (San Francisco/Oakland), Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Memphis, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Nashville, New York, Portland, Sacramento and Silicon Valley). NAUDL provides programs, best practice methods, curricula and technical assistance, and national evaluation for the network.
