    Description

    Come join us as a Volunteer Judge at BDL's fourth high school debate tournament of the season!

    Judges share their time and talent to uplift youth voice by listening to debate rounds, providing feedback, and determining a winner of debate rounds. During this shift you'll have the opportunity to judge two debate rounds.

    2 shifts available:

    • Friday shift - 3:15 AM to 8:15 PM EST
    • Saturday shift - 8:15 AM to 1:15 PM EST

    Some additional details:

    • No debate experience is required (training will be provided to you).
    • Please sign up through our Volunteer Portal to make it official!
    • Meals are served throughout the day.
    • You can read more about the position of a judge here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eEOMjW7-aCgzrq5uU0FBOcqt4mhuJu4Iz8SsxRfLPm8/edit?usp=sharing
    • After signing up, you'll receive an email with additional instructions to prepare you for your shift (including an additional shift sign-up, questionnaire form, eCORI form, and judge training to complete). Be on the lookout (including in your spam folder!).
