The Tulsa Debate League is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that supports students and teachers in Tulsa Public Schools by providing access to debate programs and resources. Through organizing competitions, funding programs and summer camps, and offering professional development to teachers and coaches, the league aims to close the achievement gap in urban school districts and empower students to think critically, communicate effectively, and engage with the world.
Research has shown that debaters are more likely to graduate from high school, meet college-readiness benchmarks, and achieve higher cumulative grade point averages compared to their peers. As an urban debate league, the Tulsa Debate League is committed to expanding access to debate for schools and students who have traditionally lacked opportunities. With a focus on fostering critical thinking, communication skills, and understanding of diverse perspectives, the league plays a vital role in preparing students to thrive in the 21st century.
