Volunteer to Judge Middle School Debates with the MNUDL: Shifts Are Open

MNUDL’s middle school debate tournament shifts are open! Join us as a volunteer in 2025.

The Minnesota Urban Debate League is a program of Augsburg University. We provide academic competitive debate programming to middle and high school students. Our purpose is to provide access to debate programming - and all the benefits it brings - to Twin Cities students, regardless of their zip code or background.

Our middle school debate teams’ practices have begun and their first tournaments are weeks away! We need debate judges to help make it happen. Debate judges listen to students speak, carefully weigh the arguments, pick a winner, and provide constructive feedback to help the kids improve.

Mark the dates on your calendar and sign up now - shifts are open on our Volunteer with Us page!
