EARN $55 PER TOURNAMENT AS A DEBATE JUDGE!

The Minnesota Urban Debate League is a program of Augsburg University. We provide academic competitive debate programming to middle and high school students. Augsburg alum Awale Osman developed the Somali Debate Institute (now East African Debate League) to provide a culturally specific space for East African students to gain debate skills like public speaking, argumentation, and more. Our East African Debate League provides a space for East African students to celebrate their culture and community while learning debate skills.

This year’s debate topic, held in English, will center on the benefits and drawbacks of culturally-specific versus integrated education systems.

We’re looking for caring adults who have deep ties to the East African community (with or without debate experience!) to join us. As a judge, you’ll listen to students speak, provide constructive feedback, and choose a winner of each debate at weeknight tournaments.

You must be 18+ and pass a background check to volunteer and/or be paid $55/tournament as a debate judge.

Opportunities include:

Tues., December 17th: 3:15-7:15 PM
Tues., January 14th: 3:15-7:15 PM
Tues., February 4th: 3:15-7:15 PM

Sign up to be a debate judge here by clicking the shift of your choice: https://mnudl.augsburg.edu/volunteer-opportunities/

This is an excellent opportunity for East African-focused community or student groups to fundraise! Please reach out to Melekh Akintola at akintola@augsburg.edu for more information about fundraising as a group.

(Concerned about transportation? No problem! Thanks to our AmeriCorps Volunteer Generation Fund, we can book you an Uber for free! Please sign up and email our Volunteer Coordinator, Johan at udlvolunteers@augsburg.edu for more information.)
