Story
Everyone says debate opens doors for you. Yes, it does – of course it does – but beyond that, debate has given me the personal tools and strength to pick the door I want, turn the knob and walk through it.” – Liv Birnstadt, 2023 Debater of the Year
This year, NAUDL is commemorating its 20th Anniversary and we want to thank our donors in reflecting on what makes our community shine and thrive. As we carry out our mission in the present and dream big for the next generation's future, your investment matters.
Your support helps NAUDL and its partners to close a significant gap in college and career-readiness for most high school students: the art of public speaking and presenting a persuasive argument.
Your support sustains access to programs where students develop a passion for learning -- and where that passion translates into academic success, increased SAT scores and higher high school graduation and college enrollment rates.
More, your support powers a network that encourages a confidence in students to create positive social change through respectful discourse.
Thank you for believing in our work and for choosing NAUDL this Giving Tuesday!
