A publication of the National Speech & Debate Association
Dear Alum,

We're excited to offer new ways to get involved in the presidential election process! We also have volunteer judging, scholarship, and other opportunities to share. From all of us at the National Speech & Debate Association, we wish you a warm and relaxing holiday season!
WHAT'S HAPPENING

Presidential Debate Activities » Take advantage of our Voices of the Future materials before, during, and after the presidential debates this week! Engage friends or teammates while hosting a watch party. Be sure to download our bingo cards and check out other fun ideas. Don't forget to visit our Facebook polls to vote for your favorite candidate following each debate!
GET INVOLVED

Volunteer to Judge » Judging competitions is a fun and stimulating way to stay involved in speech and debate and establish yourself as a volunteer at the same time! You can find judging opportunities by contacting tournament hosts listed in our Tournament Calendar (search by state) or connecting with your state organization. Once you have an opportunity lined up, refresh your knowledge and evaluation skills using our free judge training tools!
