About this organization
Mission
Our mission is to empower Silicon Valley students, regardless of their race or socioeconomic status, to reach their full potential to become professional and community leaders by teaching critical thinking and communication skills through speech and debate programming.
About
Through the rigor and thrill of the academic sport of debate, the Silicon Valley Urban Debate League helps low-income youth tap the power of their voices to compete, excel, and change the world. Our debate programming develops topic research skills, policy debate tactics and strategy, and public speaking confidence, all of which support the educational and professional goals of our students. In addition to competitive debate programming provided during the school year, SVUDL hosts a week-long policy debate institute each summer, provides college and career mentoring, and offers professional access opportunities in partnership with local law firms and other corporate supporters.
