MNUDL Needs YOU as a Volunteer Middle School Debate Judge

Minnesota Urban Debate League, a nonprofit affiliated with Augsburg’s Sabo Center, is looking for volunteers to serve as Middle School Debate Judges for their upcoming December Tournament. No experience in debate is needed! We provide all the training needed to be a great judge. This is a great experience to directly serve Twin Cities youth and support their educational development.

We have over 500 Middle School students from the Twin Cities involved in our program. Judges serve as active listeners and educators for the student. As a judge you will listen to debates, determine a winner, and most importantly give student feedback on their speeches, helping them to grow in confidence.

Time commitment is 3:30–7 p.m. on a weekday night, including a short half-hour tournament. Volunteers sign up only for the dates they are available. We are happy to be flexible with individual schedules. If you have questions, please email the Volunteer Coordinator, Molly Hahne, at hahne@augsburg.edu.
