Membership

Umoja Debate League is open to students attending our participating schools, in 6th-12th grade, who are eager to improve their ability to articulate thoughts and ideas, grow as leaders, and develop strong interpersonal skills in a team environment. Our program provides a dynamic platform for students to enhance critical thinking, self-expression, and confidence through competitive debate.
