The Minnesota Urban Debate League is a program of Augsburg University. We provide academic competitive debate programming to middle and high school students in the Twin Cities Metro.

Do you want an opportunity to complete service hours before the semester ends? We still have one opportunity. On December 8th and 9th, we will hold our championship tournament for the high school national topic season. The December 8th half of the tournament is virtual, and the December 9th half is in-person at Washington Technology Magnet School.

Judges watch students debate, listen to their arguments, choose a winner, and provide constructive feedback to the students so they can improve.

No debate experience? No problem. We will train you, and those without experience will be assigned to judge novice debates.

We need volunteers for these roles:
Readers to read Scripture in Spanish and English
Musicians (guitar, soloists, singers for a choir, etc)
A couple volunteers to read / lead the prayers
Greeters to give out bulletins and roses at the door
