Judge Middle School Debate-NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY!

Save to Favorites

What if there was an after school activity for middle school students that encouraged self-confidence, improved academic performance, and boosted high school readiness while providing students with a platform to speak their minds? We think debate does all of these things, but we need your help to support debate programs at schools in Minneapolis and Saint Paul. Volunteer as a debate judge and help students maximize their potential.

Middle school debate judges watch debate rounds and evaluate teams based on logic, effective argumentation, and speaking skills. They pick the winner and provide important feedback that helps our debaters improve their skills and grow in the activity. It’s a flexible volunteer opportunity to support youth education, civic engagement, and empowerment.

* We also provide judge triaining at 3:15pm

Responsibilities:

• listen attentively as students present their arguments during the debate round
• as an educator, provide constructive and compassionate feedback to help students improve their debate skills

By Volunteering you will save the league hundreds of dollars in judging fees and provide an invaluable service to the community, allowing us to support more students and for that we couldn't thank you enough.

WE need your support
