Question

Where can I get funding for a project on out of school time?

Answer

As it began to phase out its funding of urban debate, OSI formed the National Urban Debate Initiative in 2002, which evolved into the National Association for Urban Debate Leagues (NAUDL) in 2005. The NAUDL's mission is to increase the number of urban debaters across the country. The NAUDL comprehensively reviewed the record of the first decade of the Urban Debate Network and, based on these results, formulated an Organizational Model that institutionalizes UDLs in urban school systems and establishes a UDL Advisory Board to bring together community leadership to support the school-based project. The NAUDL is led by Honorary Board members David Boies, Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Penny Pritzker, Lawrence H. Summers, Laurence H. Tribe, and Paul G. Vallas, and a Governing Board made up of corporate, legal, and academic professionals with a national profile, including four former national collegiate debate champions. With the continuing support of the founder of the Urban Debate Network, OSI, the NAUDL has developed a range of programs that build, expand, and connect Urban Debate Leagues around the country.
