The Great Neck Debate Circle provides students an opportunity to cultivate their interest in debate in an informal environment, without the pressure of competition. We focus on reinforcing the relevance of finding your voice to students’ everyday lives, expanding students’ leadership skills by conducting demonstrations, forensic activities, or community outreach events.
