How you help | The LAMDL relies heavily on volunteers in order to provide the life-changing opportunities debate has to offer to as many students as possible. No prior debate experience or training is required, and virtually any level of commitment can be accommodated. |

About us | LAMDL was founded in 2007 with four Los Angeles public schools. Today LAMDL is the policy debate portal to 30 high schools, serving more than 650 students per year with a goal to serve over 1,000 students from 50 schools by 2023. LAMDL utilizes policy debate; a two-on-two debate event that focuses on a policy question for the duration of the academic year. This format tests a student’s research, analytical, and delivery skills. We are committed to restore access to competitive policy debate throughout LA’s most underserved public schools. |
