ABOUT JSA

"In the student-run, student-led JSA, participants learn how to engage civilly in political discourse. They cultivate democratic leadership skills, challenge one another to think critically, advocate their own opinions, develop respect for opposing views and learn to rise above self-interest to promote the public good. As a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization, JSA is committed to developing a diverse, cross-section of young leaders for a democratic society." - JSA.org

Unlike a standard debate club, JSA is non-competitive and incorporates community activism. JSA is a community like no other!
