The Chicago Debate Commission

Overview
Headquarters: 
Chicago, IL
Website: 
chicagodebates.org
Size: 
1-10 employees
Founded: 
1995
About Us
Areas of Focus: 
Education
Mission: 

We envision a world in which Chicago youth, including at-risk youth, are empowered to find their voice, succeed in college and career, and become community leaders. We bring our mission to life by advancing their academic achievement, civic knowledge and career potential through the transformative power of debate.

Programs: 

Our core program is the Chicago Debate League, encompassing competitive debate programming in middle school and high school. Currently, we serve 75 schools, most of them Chicago Public Schools, and 1400 students. Our program is designed with low barriers to entry to encourage and enable students from across the academic spectrum to get deeply involved.  Most of our students are from low-income communities and under-resourced schools. In our school-based model, students attend after-school practices multiple times per week, engage in independent reading and research, and attend up to six two-day tournaments (five one-day tournaments for middle schoolers). Our program uses the policy debate format, acknowledged as the most academically rigorous form of debate, which demands reading and synthesis of complex texts, research, critical thinking, and use of evidence to support every claim. Topics are rich and every year our debaters explore economics, domestic and international politics, science and technology, and philosophy.  The time spent on debate is intense. Our high school debaters spend an average of 145 hours in adult-supervised practices and tournaments – the equivalent of five additional weeks of school. Our highly engaged high school students devote over 400 hours to debate.

The CDC’s core program activities include advocating for and helping establish debate programs in Chicago Public Schools; recruiting and providing hundreds of hours of professional development for 130 teachers and coaches; providing extensive materials and guidance for successful debate programs; running a summer debate camp and school-year training for students; managing all aspects of the seven-conference debate league; and conducting 40 debate tournaments a year.

Awards & Accolades: 
2017 Urban Debate League of the Year (presented by National Association for Urban Debate Leagues)
2013 Honorable Mention, Mutual of America Community Partnerships Awards,
Why Work For Us?: 

The CDC is a collaborative and dynamic organization, with staff dedicated to giving Chicago students the platform to build their voice and achieve academic and personal success. We work, think and debate hard -- always within the context of respect for each other and our values. The organization is also committed to the professional development of its employees, creates professional growth opportunities, and supports employees in exploring their own professional goals.
