Organization Description
| Mission statement | DebateAble's curriculum emphasizes the development of critical thinking skills and a tolerance for differing viewpoints, instilling an appreciation for the value of teamwork. Our debate program and format are inspired by the International Debate Education Association, which focuses on education – not competition – as the goal of debates. |
| Service(s) description | DebateAble students work together in teams of three to present supporting arguments and are provided with research materials regarding the session's topic, or "resolution." Distilling the research is an important part of the DebateAble program, as is learning to debate both sides of any topic, actively listening to the arguments of opposing teams, and realizing that there is more than one way of thinking about any single question. |
| Program impact | 84% of parents reported an increase in one or more of these qualities in their children: Critical Thinking, Public Speaking, Self-Confidence |
