Dollars Raised for the Community

Our Founding Mission

Valley Debate Academy was founded by debaters, for debaters. For far too long, the accessibility and affordability of quality public speaking education has been out of reach for students. It’s for that reason, that we decided to change the game. While other academies for speaking education are entirely profit-driven, and ‘promise’ the best instructors—VDA prides itself bringing the experience of a team with years dedicated to the public speaking and debate community. We hope you will choose VDA for quality, but also out of care for this community. Every last penny of our proceeds go back to keeping underprivileged debate teams, school clubs, and student initiatives alive. Clarity, transparency, quality, and community are the pillars of the VDA promise. Thank you for giving us a shot.
