College Programs and Associations
ALOUD partners represent the programming gamut from middle school to college. All of their efforts are geared towards helping students discover their voice, break out of the cycle of poverty and make positive contributions to society. This chain of involvement provides the potential for more effective tracking of student development and cross-channel communication so that students needs are considered at all levels of the educational process.
ALOUD has been endorsed by prestigious college associations including the American Forensics Association and the Cross Examination Debate Association. We are invested in programs aimed at expanding the diversity of under-represented groups in college.
