Community engagement is critical to the success of the Initiative, and especially to our goal of having competitive speech and debate teams in all of the region’s public middle and high schools by 2025.

There are currently several ways you can be involved. We are seeking volunteers to serve as assistant coaches, judges, and need donations for supplies and materials and tournament entry fees. No matter how you’d like to get involved, we look forward to meeting you!
