This exclusive Debate Program is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for young students to learn from Harvard College student mentors through a highly engaging and personalized 12-week Zoom led workshop. Designed for students in Grades 5 to 7, the program goes beyond just teaching the fundamentals of debate—it cultivates leadership, confidence, and strategic thinking through interactive sessions, team-building exercises, and competitive simulations.

Our program isn’t just about the concepts of debate—we engage students with team activities, mixed-media learning, competitions, speeches, and most importantly, help them build rewarding and long-lasting professional relationships with our Harvard student team.

Through weekly Zoom sessions, students will explore the fundamentals of debate, persuasive speaking, argumentation, rebuttal strategy, and global issue analysis. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced debater, this program offers the perfect blend of theory, practice, and personalized mentorship.

Participants will take part in mock rounds, scrimmages, and a final tournament that mirrors real-world competitive debate settings.
