But what is less known is that there are many people living in the valley who have less starry futures ahead of them. The Urban Debate League wants to change these students' outlook. Through their debate and mentorship programs they increase their students' chance to go to college and land a dream job. And many also become determined activists. How does the Urban Debate League work? And what can other programs learn from their approach?
