Umoja Debate League

Umoja=Unity

Umoja Debate League is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that uses debate as our vehicle to teach Detroit youth ages 11-18 transferable life skills, such as critical thinking, confidence, conflict resolution, increased literacy, and self-expression.

Umoja Debate League's vision is to create a pipeline of lawyers, community changemakers, and leaders. Our students will use their sharpened critical thinking, articulation, and conflict resolution skills to ignite total community transformation.
