Do Good Debate Academy

Our Mission

Do Good Debate Academy started in 2020 is a registered California Non-Profit Organization.

The sole aim of the our academy is to present the gift of public debate to all children of our communities and expand the skills of experienced debaters. Do Good Debate targets debaters at all levels at Middle and High Schools, from children who struggle to speak up; to children who have diverse backgrounds in public debate.

Success for the academy is achieved by improving the debate skills of any student who attends the program.

Disparities Around Us

Today's debate system is filled with disparities. Whether it be richer schools having more access to coaches and resources or debate camps charging thousands of dollars to introduce students to debate. Do Good Debate Academy not only aims to eliminate these disparities in today's system by offering cheap and affordable coaching, but also gives back to the community and our respected charities.

Started with 1 school and 2 students in June 2020, today the academy coaches 30+ students from 6 schools.
