Why Your Gift Matters

The Atlanta Urban Debate League opens doors for thousands of metro-Atlanta students each year. Debate builds confidence, strengthens academic skills, and creates pathways to college and leadership — but we can only do this work with community support.
Your donation directly fuels opportunities for young people who need them most.

What Your Donation Makes Possible

Your generosity helps us provide essential resources that keep debate accessible and high-quality:

• Membership Scholarships for schools that cannot afford annual fees

• Meals, supplies, and materials for practices and tournaments

• Custodial and security staffing to safely host in-person events

• Transportation & after-school support for students across Atlanta

• Awards and recognition that celebrate student excellence

• Summer debate scholarships for students and coaches

• Internships & fellowships that develop future leaders in the Urban Debate community

Invest in Students. Invest in Atlanta.

Every dollar expands access, uplifts student voices, and strengthens our city’s future leaders.
Join us in building a more equitable Atlanta — one debate round at a time.
