Eloquence Academy

Empowering The Youth Through Debate

Who We Are

Founded in 2022, Eloquence Academy is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that aims to increase speech and debate accessibility. Debate (or “forensics”) is a popular academic activity in middle, high, and post-secondary schools nationwide. Eloquence provides equitable and low-cost debate programming (classes, tournaments, and school partnerships) to students across the United States and internationally. In particular, Eloquence seeks to recruit students and schools in geographically rural and historically underserved communities.
