    We envision a world in which Chicago youth are empowered to find their voice, succeed in college and career, and become leaders in their community.

    About Us

    As a partner to Chicago Public Schools, Chicago Debates promotes, facilitates, and runs competitive debate programming in high schools and middle schools across Chicago, serving over 1200 students each year.
