Competitive debate instills a love of country, a sense of community service, and a deep appreciation for our government systems.





At the Florida Debate Initiative, we’ve built a dynamic roster of programs aimed at training students, coaches, and teachers to compete at the highest levels of speech and debate. Our programs sharpen critical thinking, boost communication skills, and build the leadership and confidence needed to excel past the competition and achieve victory at the podium and beyond.

We envision a Florida where all students, regardless of socioeconomic background, are given the ability to learn and practice communication, leadership and critical thinking skills through speech and debate competition opportunities. With your help, we can make that a reality.
STAY UP-TO-DATE
