We're excited to let you know that we’re starting a Middle School Debate Club this year. The club is specifically to help students get ready for the Gallaudet Youth Debate Bowl, an individual competition where middle schoolers go head-to-head in formal debates.

In Debate Club, we’ll practice how to organize ideas, build strong arguments, and speak with confidence. No experience is needed. You just need to be willing to try something new and put in the effort.
