    Description

    Judge a Citywide Middle School Debate Tournament in English!

    Come join us as a Volunteer Judge at BDL's second middle 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.

    Some additional details:

    • No debate experience is required (training will be provided to you).
    • 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!).

    Any questions? Reach out to Valeria Pereira (vpereira@bostondebate.org).
