Debate is for Everyone.
Our mission is to expand access to high quality debate education by providing student-led coaching that empower youth with critical thinking, persuasive communication, and leadership skills in order to foster the next generation of Winnipeg debaters and leaders.
Critical Thinking
Develop the ability to analyze complex issues from multiple perspectives.
Public Speaking
Gain confidence and eloquence in expressing ideas to your audience.
Leadership
Learn what it takes to speak in front of an audience; whether it be a team, a panel of judges, or friends.
We can’t change our communities alone.
That’s where you can help us—whether through donating, directly mentoring students, or simply spreading the word.
