About the Voices Foundation:
Since 2005 the Voices Foundation has raised funds for the financially disadvantaged members of the LD debate community, primarily through its Round Robins and other efforts by the community. That money will go to help a record number of aid applicants attend summer debate institutes and tournaments during the year. We hope that you can join us for this tremendous event for the entire community.
The Voices Foundation was established by a student-coach in an effort to make high school debate accessible to all students, regardless of financial circumstance. The Foundation strives to address shortfalls of resources and support that impede participation by financially disadvantaged individuals and teams through educational programs, outreach efforts to high schools and middle schools trying to start teams, and scholarships for summer camp, tournaments, and coaching.
