Talent is Everywhere. Opportunity is Not.

At SVUDL, we believe every student deserves the chance to thrive. Our programs help young people unlock the power of their voices—equipping them with the skills, confidence, and leadership tools to succeed in school and beyond.

Through speech and debate, students learn to research deeply, think critically, and communicate effectively. They develop discipline, improve their academic performance, and are far more likely to graduate high school and go on to college.

Your gift makes this possible.

With your support, SVUDL can continue offering free, coach-led speech and debate programs to under-resourced high school students—helping them grow not just academically, but socially and emotionally as well.

Thank you for believing in our students and investing in their futures.
