Who we ARE

Guided by Kids is a non-profit which offers speech and debate education free of charge to Omaha area students in grades 5-8 each year. We will resume regular Tuesday early evening class sessions, beginning with our first class on Tuesday, Feb. 18, 2025, at First United Methodist Church.

 

We plan to compete at in-person middle school speech and debate competitions in the local area.  We are committed to continuing to educate students so that they can attain the critical thinking and communication skills necessary to being informed citizens and leaders in their communities.

 

Student members of Guided by Kids learn and practice high level communication and critical thinking skills (researching, listening, questioning, note-taking, speaking, debating, etc.) All of these skills will help students become lifelong learners.
