“Without debate, I would not be in the place that I am today.”

Roselin P.

Student

"I am passionate about this program because it empowers young diverse leaders in our community to engage in public discourse. I am blown away every time I see these remarkable students debate substantive policy issues ranging from whether the federal government should fund public schools to whether the U.S. should sell weapons to foreign countries. We need their voices in the public discourse, perhaps now more than ever."

Cydney Edwards

Program Director

"Working with the Miami league has been one of the most joyous group of students I've ever been able to work with. They are so full of energy, so inquisitive and wise."
