Our Mission & Impact: Veritas Oratio Xaris Speech and Debate Club

Based in Bellevue, WA, Veritas Oratio Xaris Speech and Debate Club is a registered non-profit dedicated to fostering vital communication and critical thinking skills within our broader community. Our programs serve families from a wide geographic area, reaching as far north as Monroe, as far east as North Bend, as far west as Normandy Park, and as far south as Maple Valley.

We provide accessible and engaging speech and debate programs for families, particularly those who homeschool, creating a supportive environment for intellectual growth and personal development.

Our unique co-operative model harnesses the passion and expertise of volunteer parents, ensuring that every participant receives comprehensive training and mentorship. Through our weekly meetings, we empower individuals to master the art of effective communication, build confidence, and develop the analytical abilities necessary to thoughtfully engage with diverse perspectives and contribute meaningfully to society.

• Weekly Lessons: Focused lessons on argumentation, research, public speaking techniques, and effective communication strategies.

• Practice Rounds: Opportunities for participants to apply their learning in simulated debate and speech scenarios, receiving constructive feedback.

• Mentorship: Dedicated volunteer parents provide individualized coaching and support to help each participant reach their full potential.
