Listen. Give Feedback. Make a difference.
Join The Boston Debate League on January 20 or 21 as a volunteer judge for our fourth debate tournament of the season.
As a judge, you will be asked to listen to debaters, take notes, offer encouragement, and determine a winner. Students eagerly anticipate and welcome judge feedback because they know it helps them become better debaters. No experience is necessary and we will train you before your shift.
January 20-21 at English High School in Jamaica Plain
January 21 at Timitly Middle School in Roxbury (6-hour commitment)
Please contact Yamit Yapor, Volunteer Coordinator at yyapor@bostondebate.org with any questions.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to integrate argumentation and competitive debate into public schools in Boston to develop critical thinkers ready for college, career, and engagement with the world around them.
Description
The Boston Debate League (BDL) is a non-profit organization that works in partnership with the Boston Public Schools (BPS) to support academic debate teams in local high schools and train BPS teachers to use debate as a regular part of their classroom practice. We offer debate and argumentation programs for young people in Greater Boston, with a commitment to serving students of color and other students who have been denied these educational opportunities. We tailor our programs to address the educational inequities they experience, and strive to create inclusive learning communities where all participants are welcome and supported in achieving the transformative, lifelong benefits of debate.
