International Debate Education Association
National debate programs in OSI network countries are connected via the International Debate Education Association (IDEA), an international NGO established and registered in the Netherlands. IDEA's mission is to create broad and inclusive debate clubs that encourage participation by all segments of the population, and to establish independent national debate associations to promote, organize, and sustain debate activities in each country.

National Association of Urban Debate Leagues
The National Association of Urban Debate Leagues (NAUDL), an OSI grantee, seeks to improve urban public education by empowering youth to become engaged learners, critical thinkers, and active citizens who advocate for themselves and their communities. NAUDL advocates nationally on behalf of the leagues, develops the Urban Debate Network, and provides support to sites in the form of technical assistance, curricular materials, and professional development.
