Capitol Debate Summer Camps
Capitol Debate is a year-round professional organization dedicated exclusively to teaching public speaking and debate. For 20 years, we've taught over 10,000 students from 35+ countries the communication skills that matter most in an AI-driven world: persuasion, presence, and human connection.
Our alumni have attended every Ivy League school and work at organizations like Google, Bain, and leading law firms. We're looking for experienced educators who share our belief that confident communication is the skill that separates future leaders from the rest.
Teach alongside passionate educators. You'll join a team of instructors who share your enthusiasm for speech and debate—people who understand why this work matters.
Curriculum ready to go. Our 20-year-refined curriculum means you can focus on teaching, not lesson planning. Walk in prepared with proven content that works.
See your impact. Our assessment system tracks real student growth. You'll witness firsthand how your teaching transforms students over two weeks.
Prestigious campus locations. Teach at universities including Yale, UCLA, UC Berkeley, UNC Chapel Hill, American University, Villanova, University of Washington, and others nationwide.
Senior Instructors are the backbone of our classroom experience. You'll lead lessons, coach students individually, judge practice debates and competitions, and deliver personalized feedback.
This is a teaching role, not a babysitting role. You'll work with students ages 8-17 who are motivated to improve their communication skills.
