LAMDL partners with over 30 schools in Los Angeles to grow debate, adding more every year. If you are a school interested in joining our network, please email our Program Director.
Students in urban public schools have little more than a fifty percent chance of graduating from high school. Urban debate keeps these students in school. It teaches them that, with effort, they can succeed, and it ignites their passion for learning. The results are dramatic. Urban debaters are 3.1 times more likely to graduate than non-debaters. Ninety-percent of urban debaters graduate on time, compared to only seventy-five percent of similar students who do not debate.
LAUSD is a significant partner with LAMDL. In addition to the logistical and organizational support that it provides, LAUSD also contributes to funds needed to run the debate league.

“Debate has increased the motivation and engagement of my most apathetic students; they love the competitive nature of debate and eagerly delve into texts that they otherwise typically avoid.”
