The Leaders We Deserve Start Young: Invest $2 a Week in Their Rise

Leaders aren’t born. They are molded through opportunity, mentorship, and the power of voice.

At Umoja Debate League, we believe leadership starts young. Debate is our tool and it works. It builds confidence, critical thinking, empathy, and the courage to lead with conviction. These are the very traits our communities and our world need more of.

By giving $2 a week, you help make Umoja’s transformative debate programs free for over 400 students in Metro Detroit. That’s 400 young people learning to research, speak up, build solutions, think critically, develop empathy, and lead with purpose.

This isn’t charity. It's a collective preparation. This is how we shape our future.

Join us in building a future where every student, regardless of income, has access to the skills and stage they need to lead. Give $2/week. Make your impact last a lifetime.
