“The prison system should focus on rehabilitation instead of punishment.”

“Action should be taken to reduce plastic pollution in oceans.” 

“Air cushions should be used instead of styrofoam in packaging.”

While these are our students’ opinions, they are seeds for social change. Discourse—when fostered in a constructive and productive manner—can transform perspectives, connect people, heal divisions, and inspire change. However, rural and low-income students are often hindered from joining the debate space due to high team management and tournament fees.

It is in this tradition that Eloquence Academy has moved forward, offering schools and students a vast array of debate classes and tournaments that foster lifelong critical thinking, collaboration, and communication skills.
