Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

Our mission is to empower Silicon Valley students, regardless of their race or socioeconomic status, to reach their full potential to become professional and community leaders by teaching critical thinking and communication skills through speech and debate programming.

During the 2021-2022 school year, SVUDL worked with 11 high school partners in Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties, serving more than 560 students. Of these students, 265 students participated in the highest level of involvement--attending 10+ practices and at least 1 tournament. In addition to afterschool Speech & Debate programming, SVUDL has been more active in the classroom--working with each of our 11 high school partners to develop a customized plan that also includes Speech & Debate Curriculum Offerings and Debate Centered Instruction (DCI). This comprehensive approach provides for rigorous instruction, student engagement, and teacher support. SVUDL staff and Teacher Coaches spent more than 68,000 hours with students throughout the year. In addition, students participated in 8 Professional Access visits where they were engaged in activities that expanded their horizons, opportunities, and networks. SVUDL also held 2 national Speech & Debate tournaments (Ryan Mills Invitational and the John Lewis Invitational) in 2022 that brought together more than 1,700 students, in person and virtually, from more than 7 states across the nation to compete in nearly two dozen different Speech and Debate events.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

The filer's explanations (Part III)

Part I, Line 3: The SVUDL Board used nonprofit compensation data from two commercially available surveys to review market compensation for this position considering geography, type of nonprofit work performed, organization size, position, title, and responsibilities. The Executive Director's compensation was set by a unanimous vote of the full Board, and documented in the offer letter to the Executive Director, after considering this material, without any participation by the Executive Director. It is the intent of the SVUDL Board to follow substantially the same process each year in reviewing and adjusting as appropriate the Executive Director compensation.

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
