snappy posters (e.g. “the first rule of debate club is that you do not talk about debate club. you make persuasive arguments regarding the pros and cons of debate club”)

or when you’re given those excuses (e.g. shy, can’t talk, not talented) say that it’s a way to get over those fears/inadequacies. that they don’t have to be william jennings bryan overnight, that they can ease into it. or just help in brainstorming ideas pro and/or against whatever topic. a lot of the inadequacy of public speaking is either lack of preparation or lack of confidence. once they’re better prepared and as a result perform better, they’ll get more confidence and you got em hooked. just start em off slow.

like all extra-curricular activities, it looks good on colllege applications

highlight what majors/careers debate club would be useful for (e.g. law, politics) and that depending on major, a lot of college coursework will include the preparation of persuasive argument papers.
