Milwaukee Debate League

Our purpose is to facilitate participation in organized debate activities for as many urban students as possible. An Urban Debate League organizes academic debate programming for public schools in a large city. Though successful variations can and do exist, an Urban Debate League (UDL) is generally structured around a partnership between the urban public school district and a private partner, a local not-for-profit organization often called a UDL Advisory Board, which comprises civic-minded leaders in business, law, academia, government, and the nonprofit community.
