There is certainly no shortage of opportunities to get your conservative fix this summer, as Young America’s Foundation has three events planned to introduce students to conservative ideas or to advance their understanding of them. 

The seminar on Mastering Conservative Rhetoric in the Battle of Ideas is taking place Wednesday, June 8 to Saturday, June 11 at the Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill.  The rhetoric seminar seeks to train young leaders to master the use of rhetoric to advance conservative principles.  Now in its second year, this program is open to full-time college students and young professionals eager to hone their oratory skills and effectively communicate conservative values to others in their community.  For more information on this program and how to apply, please visit the rhetoric seminar event page.

The National High School Leadership Conference is taking place Wednesday, July 6 to Saturday, July 9 at the National 4-H Youth Conference Center in Chevy Chase, Maryland—just outside of Washington, D.C.  Students attending this “Crash-course in Conservatism,” will talk with some of the Conservative Movement’s brightest minds, meet like-minded peers from across the country, and even tour the national monuments in our nation’s capital.  Be sure to check out the National High School Leadership Conference event page for more information and to apply.  Be sure to check back often for a list of confirmed speakers, too!

The National Conservative Student Conference, Young America’s signature conference, is taking place Monday, August 1 to Saturday, August 6 at The George Washington University in Washington, D.C.  Open to college students or incoming college freshman, this conference brings together hundreds of students from across the country to hear from the Conservative Movement’s brightest minds.  Students stay in the dorms at GWU, hear lectures and panels during the day, and attend a dinner banquet featuring a special guest speaker each night.  In its rich 33 year history, the National Conservative Student Conference has been addressed by the likes of President Ronald Reagan, columnist George Will, Speaker Newt Gingrich, Attorneys General John Ashcroft and Ed Meese, and Nobel Laureates Milton Friedman, James Buchanan, and Vernon Smith—just to name a few!  For more information and to apply, please click here .
