The Mackinac Center ended its High School Debate Workshop program in June 2018 after 30 years of offering in-person and online programs to high school students and coaches throughout Michigan.
Nearly 11,000 high school students and teachers honed their forensic skills at our workshops over the years, which enhanced debate season for participants by providing informative speakers, free resource materials, and up-to-date news and research on each year’s debate topic.
The Mackinac Center for Public Policy continues supporting youth with other programs including a summer intern program and annual Detroit Children’s Business Fair. Many interns have gone on to careers in public service, writing, academia and think tank leadership.
The Mackinac Center for Public Policy is a nonprofit research and educational institute that advances the principles of free markets and limited government. Through our research and education programs, we challenge government overreach and advocate for a free-market approach to public policy that frees people to realize their potential and dreams.
Please consider contributing to our work to advance a freer and more prosperous state.
