9-12-Events-Option

We create a safe space to practice speech and debate with supportive, helpful feedback.

Students write original speeches, craft creative performances, and practice debate. We offer online practices with a coach, weekend practices, and programs at select schools. Students can also attend our signature tournament every March!

"I think doing speech is exhilaratingly scary, like I'm really excited to do it, but it could be really embarrassing and I don't know how it'll turn out. But I'm excited to find out."

“I have been able to grow as a speaker and watch and help other people grow into confident speakers and use their voices to spark change.”

How to Work With Us

Option 1

Sign up for an “in-house” program or event from the calendar below. In-house programs and events are typically open to all experience levels.

Option 2

Bring a weekly program to your school site. We work with school PTAs, principals, donors, and districts to fund programs.

Option 3

If you don’t see a date or offering that works for you, contact us for a 10-minute call. We can set up a private session for individual students or a group of up to 5 friends (depending on availability).

Private Lessons

If your child doesn’t have a speech & debate team at their school or wants to squeeze in a little extra practice time before a tournament, our Youth Private Lessons are the perfect opportunity. Private lessons are completely customizable and tailored to your child’s needs and goals.
