Each week guides youth through essential debate skills from the NSDA’s Start Here curriculum, beginning with understanding what debate is and progressing toward researching, writing, arguing, and practicing full competitive rounds.

The RVA Teen Townhall – A Debate Club will occur 1x/weekly on Saturdays in the Downtown YMCA from 1pm-2:30pm.
