Debate it Forward (DIF), an education non-profit, uses its pioneering debate curriculum to increase the empathy, self-efficacy, and critical-thinking skills of students overlooked by traditional debate circuits: young students, students of low income, and students with diagnosed learning or developmental differences. Through hiring and training university students, Debate it Forward provides its high-quality, low-cost debate curriculum in both school and afterschool activities, as well as summer-camp programming.
