Florida Debate Initiative

At the heart of the Florida Debate Initiative (FDI) lies a passionate mission: to open doors wide for students through the power of speech, debate, and civics education. We envision a Florida where every student, regardless of background, has the chance to excel as active citizens and effective leaders in our interconnected society. By championing increased participation in local speech and debate teams, FDI enhances educational achievement and fosters a culture of excellence within Florida’s Education System.
