About
Georgia Forensics is a not just for profit company based in Atlanta, GA, dedicated to supporting high school speech and debate by building community and supporting free, open knowledge. We’re not here to make TOC champions, we’re here to do what we can to make people better debaters, and smarter people overall. We’re here to build community, not just a community of people that go to the same camp, or attend the same tournaments, or can afford to travel and have private coaches.
