Frequently Asked Questions
It is important that we have adequate information such as emergency contacts, health concerns, and more so that we can help keep everyone safe at our events. Legal affidavits are agreed to during the registration process and we intend to better our program by tracking every debaters progress.
We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit that is funded by local grants and micro donations. We do not charge for debate opportunities as long as we can afford too.
There is no debate when it comes to our health and safety. In the case of a local outbreak, our events will likely be held virtually.
Normally, yes! As long as CDC permits. We ask that everyone in attendance act and dress respectfully. Check out the event schedule and arrive on time; audience members may not be allowed in once the debate starts.
NGD is fueled by volunteers so yes! There are lots of ways to volunteer and many that do not require any knowledge of debate. Sign up as a volunteer or reach out for more info.
