Welcome to MYDC.



This club exists because young people in Marlborough deserve a space to learn how to speak up, debate real issues, and grow as confident leaders.

We are created by youth, and run by youth, building a supportive community where every voice matters.

At MYDC, you will learn to think critically, communicate with confidence, and understand the value of giving back to your community.

These skills prepare Marlborough's youth to take initiative and carry their ideas with confidence into the wider world.

Our next meeting is on Monday, the 15th of June. 

Common Ground: Youth Week 

MYDC celebrated Youth Week alongside important figures from our community. Blog coming soon!

Building community through speeches, breaking the silence through advocacy.


We notice that many young people have a lot to say about issues that affect them, yet they believe they lack the skills to do so. Confidence is moulded through the community at MYDC, and silence is broken by advocacy. 



We’re seeking passionate debaters to join our community

Join us and make your community a better place.
