关于我们
Founded in 2022, Eloquence Academy is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that aims to increase the accessibility of speech and debate. Debate (or “forensics”) is a popular academic activity in middle, high, and post-secondary schools nationwide. Participation in debate has proven benefits on student performance in other academic disciplines and boosts communication, critical thinking, and research skills. Unfortunately, the process of starting and maintaining a debate program is expensive. We estimate that the average cost to send a medium-sized debate team to a standard tournament is often upwards of $5,000. Attending tournaments typically incurs various fees, including tournament registration fees, hiring chaperones and judges, and coordinating transport, meals, and hotels. As a result, more than 85% of public schools nationwide lack a debate program. Supported by a team of over 80 high school and undergraduate volunteers, Eloquence provides low-cost debate programming (classes, tournaments, and school programs) to 1,000+ students. In particular, Eloquence seeks to recruit students and schools in geographically rural and historically underserved communities. Ultimately, we hope that this work will help bridge the educational equity gap and empower youth to engage with the world around them.
