YAF leads young conservatives through changing times
With more than 50 years of experience educating, equipping, and empowering students, Young America’s Foundation continues to lead the Conservative Movement in reaching the rising generation by leveraging existing and new online resources.
YAF launched a new podcast—”Books with Burt“—in March, with renowned professor and YAF’s longest-serving faculty member Burt Folsom, to deliver real history to supplement and correct the often-biased and incomplete lessons offered by liberal professors and teachers.
Virtual training seminars are underway for Young Americans for Freedom activists who remain motivated to share freedom’s principles with their peers, even while learning remotely. Through this new format, YAF provides best practices for presenting conservative ideas, lively discussion of current events, and a bit of the camaraderie usually enjoyed by young conservatives on campus.
As always, hundreds of hours of YAF’s unmatched campus lectures and life-changing student conferences are available on-demand via YouTube.com/YAFtv. The Foundation’s Truth Straight Up series provides easily-digested, topic-specific resources directly to young people on the pressing issues facing students today.
And while students aren’t physically on campus for the end of the school year, leftist bias continues to rear its ugly head in online courses. YAF’s Campus Bias Tipline has been lighting up this spring, and the Foundation’s staff continues to expose incidents of anti-conservative bias in online classes in order to hold instructors accountable.
As Americans adjust to new routines, Young America’s Foundation, its dedicated student activists, and our shared conservative ideas remain a constant, ever-ready to rise to new challenges.
