Paid Opportunity: Seeking Judges for the East African Debate League, $55/Tournament

The Minnesota Urban Debate League is a program of Augsburg University. We provide academic competitive debate programming to middle and high school students. We have an upcoming opportunity for folks who want to earn extra money while doing good for the community.

In our East African Debate program, middle and high school students from the East African community debate a topic that is central to their identity. This year, the topic is about international investment in East Africa. What are the benefits? What are the drawbacks? Students learn how to debate multiple angles of the issue. Please note that these debates are held fully in English, and no previous debate experience is required to judge.

We are seeking judges to volunteer in person on weeknights in schools across the Twin Cities, paid $55 per tournament. The final East African Debate tournaments will be held on Tuesday, May 23rd at Andersen United Community School. Please sign up on this date using this calendar to initiate the signup process!

Are you a woman or gender expansive person employed or studying in the field of finance?

The Minnesota Urban Debate League, a program of Augsburg University, serves middle and high school students in the Twin Cities. We are looking for leaders to join us as volunteer debate judges for our Financial Literacy Leadership Debates program.

In this program, girls and gender expansive youth learn about core financial literacy subjects through the fun, engaging, and competitive vehicle of debate. The topic this year involves the advantages and disadvantages of banking at a large national bank versus a local credit union.

No debate experience is needed – we will train you. Attend our luncheon at Augsburg University, judge debates, and share your story!

The debate event will take place on June 3rd from 9:30 AM-2:30 PM.

My name is Rebecca Froehlich and I am the Development & Communications Manager at the Minnesota Urban Debate League. I’m writing to let you know that there are still multiple scholarships available for students who want to attend the Minnesota Debate and Advocacy Workshop (MDAW), our Summer Speech & Debate Camp. These are day camps held in the Twin Cities at Augsburg University. Learn more here: https://mnudl.augsburg.edu/summer-camps/

If students qualify for free and reduced lunch, they can earn a grant of up to $1,000 to attend camp through the Office of Higher Education. We don’t want to leave any of this money on the table! Please encourage your students to apply while registering. Additionally, we have payment plans available for anyone who wants to attend camp but can’t pay the cost up front. We just need a $5 deposit.

Some of our camp options include:
• Policy Debate: For Middle School, and for High School with Quick Start for beginners & advanced, 10-day, and 15-day options
• Public Forum: For High Schoolers, with Quick Start + 10 Day options
• Lincoln Douglas: For High Schoolers, with Quick Start + 10 Day options
• Congressional Debate: For Middle Schoolers and High School students
• Debate & Argumentation: This camp is for any high schooler who might excel in speech & debate, but needs a bit of time to try things out in a low stakes environment before they begin to compete. Great for freshmen and shy students!
• HS Speech Sampler Camp: An opportunity for high school students to get a taste of public address, limited prep, and oral interpretation events in one week! Great for students who haven’t committed to an event yet, or who want to try a new one.
