Whether you’re passionate about public speaking or just looking to build confidence and communication skills, Contra Costa College’s Speech + Debate program offers the perfect space to grow—and compete.

Offered as both an extracurricular team and an academic course (SPCH 160B), the program prepares students for intercollegiate competition while developing essential skills in argumentation, critical thinking, research, and persuasive communication. You’ll have the chance to participate in tournaments, work closely with coaches, and be part of a dynamic, supportive team.

It’s a great way to strengthen your voice, build your resume, and connect with a community of thoughtful, driven students.

The Speech + Debate team/class meets every Tuesday from 4:00–6:00 p.m. in Room 219 of the Applied Arts Building. Come check it out—you don’t need experience to join, just curiosity and a willingness to speak up!
