NCI 2024 MIDDLE SCHOOL
This year, we are excited to pilot a new edition of the National Congress Institute, designed specifically for debaters in middle school and/or preparing for the transition to the high school competitive circuit. Leading Middle School NCI will be Nick Chen and Zach Wu, who have taught middle school Congress courses since 2021 together at Youth Voices. During this time, their students have won or placed 2nd at the Harvard Middle School Tournament three times, the Middle School Tournament of Champions three times, and the NSDA Middle School National Tournament in 2023.
It's safe to say that at the middle school level, nobody does it better than Youth Voices. Join us this summer and we’ll take you to the top.
