The Washington Urban Debate League (WUDL) is a local non-profit that supports debate programs at public schools in the Washington Metropolitan area.

We know from extensive research that debate is one of the best things a student can do with their time, but isn’t often available to students attending public schools, especially those designated Title 1 in the Greater Washington area. WUDL fills the gap, starting new debate programs, writing curriculum, hosting tournaments, sponsoring travel, and removing the barriers to entry for students across the region.

WUDL has grown by leaps and bounds and we are looking to expand our staff to keep up. We’re expanding our team to serve more students and more schools across the metro area, and to have the resources necessary to continue our transformational mission in a sustainable way.
