About
Debate it Forward

Debate it Forward is an education non-profit that promotes healthy discourse in youth through play-based programming, fostering kids' confidence.
We utilize core debate skills to cultivate healthy discourse amongst youth in a play-based setting.

Debate it Forward (DIF) is an education non-profit, using its pioneering debate curriculum to increase the empathy, self-efficacy, and critical-thinking skills of students overlooked by traditional debate circuits: young students, students of low income, and students with diagnosed learning or developmental differences.

Through hiring and training university students, Debate it Forward provides its high-quality, low-cost debate curriculum for in-school classes, after-school clubs, camps and private tutoring.

Our Staff
