The Boston Debate League creates educational spaces for young people to think critically, improve their literacy skills, practice fact-based argumentation skills, and collaborate with their peers in a positive way. BDL’s work is having an impact on graduation rates and college readiness. Join Boston’s philanthropic community and become a sponsor and make a long-term commitment to the academic and civic lives of thousands of young people each year through BDL. Mission-driven philanthropic leaders like you make BDL’s work and impact possible.

• 850 students from 41 middle and high schools in Boston and beyond have access to debate each year
• 400 students actively debate in 3 or more tournaments
• 500 volunteers serve as debate judges to ensure students get valuable feedback during debate rounds
• 200 debaters prepare for success through Summer Debate Camp
• 90% of debaters graduate on time, compared to only 71% of students who do not debate
