Our Mission

Destiny Driven Inc. trains youth to advocate for community solutions.
Destiny Driven Inc. is a 501(c)3 social impact organization that develops self-esteem and oratorical confidence in youth for personal growth and community advocacy. This is accomplished through the pedagogy of Community Debate. Debate empowers youth to effectively communicate, think critically, and advocate for their best interest. These skills also give youth the opportunity to educate the community on social issues, while strengthen communication skills..

Oratorical Arts

Destiny Driven Inc. facilitates leadership development and academic growth through the Oratorical Arts of Storytelling and Debate. These tools empower young people to think critically, communicate effectively, and resolve conflicts through sound reasoning and diplomacy.

We are apart of an incredible honor society, the National Speech and Debate Association. Students have the ability to earn distinction and gain recognition in our honor society through competition, community service, public speaking, and leadership. 

 

Testimonial

What Students Say

  • When I first joined the debate team I didn’t know what I was doing. With some hard work coached by Ms. Russell I learned how to show emotion, how to articulate, and how to write my own speeches. I’m here to tell you that regardless of how you’re feeling Ms. Russell can change it. Give It A Try!

  • When I first joined the debate team, I was very inexperienced and shy. But as I grew and experienced debate with Ms. Russell, I began to understand the importance of my voice. Because of the debate team, I am now a better public speaker and hope to become a lawyer. I will never forget my experience with the program and will cherish it for the rest of my life.
