About the Coolidge Foundation
The Calvin Coolidge Presidential Foundation, formed in 1960, is the official foundation dedicated to preserving the legacy and advancing the values of America’s 30 th
president. The Foundation is headquartered at the President’s birthplace in Plymouth Notch, Vermont, and has a second office at Coolidge House in Washington, D.C. The Foundation operates a number of programs on a national scale that seek to share Coolidge’s legacy and values, including hard work, restrained government, thrift, bipartisanship, respect for free enterprise, federalism, the rule of law, and civility. The Foundation is
not
a federally funded presidential library and depends on private fundraising for its operations. About the Coolidge Speech & Debate Program The Coolidge Foundation’s national high school speech and debate program advances President Coolidge’s commitment to informed citizenship, freedom of thought, and civil dialogue. Coolidge Debate provides students with strong instruction in economics and public policy, critical thinking, and persuasive reasoning. Our program emphasizes mastery of content and requires that students open their minds and consider all viewpoints. We insist on a traditional, logical, nonpartisan, and evidence-based approach to debate. Coolidge debate honors the tradition of staying within the bounds of the proposition. “Citizen judges,” rather than specialized debate insiders, judge our debate rounds. For every debate, the Coolidge Foundation prepares a detailed research brief for the students and brings in star speakers to teach. About the Role The Program Manager will report to the Director of Speech & Debate to help execute a national expansion of the Coolidge Speech and Debate Program. The Program Manager will assist with planning and operating numerous debate tournaments annually, including two major national championship tournaments.
