We've Been Training Young Conservatives For Decades

We’ve Been Training Young Conservatives For Decades

Through Young America’s Foundation’s one-of-a-kind programs, thousands of high schoolers are being introduced to conservative ideas. President Reagan once said, “There is a flickering spark in all of us which, if struck at just the right age, can light the rest of our lives.” For years, YAF conferences have been lighting that spark in young conservatives from around the country. With Movement leaders, such as Ben Shapiro, Dinesh D’Souza, Katie Pavlich, Bay Buchanan, and Dennis Prager, among others, YAF continues to inspire bold activist and conservative principles among the rising generation. Students are hungry for a new perspective and new ideas to advance freedom’s principles. YAF provides just that! Every single YAF high school program this year has been sold out, including our largest-ever High School Conference at the Reagan Ranch in June. Since 1997, YAF has been pioneering programs for high school students to prepare them to challenge their peers and teachers. Take a look back at some of our greatest high school moments through the years:
1998 National High School Leadership Conference
2001 National High School Leadership Conference
2006 National High School Leadership Conference
2007 High School Conference at the Reagan Ranch
2008 National High School Leadership Conference
2010 High School Conference at the Reagan Ranch
2013 National High School Leadership Conference
2015 High School Conference at the Reagan Ranch
2017 National High School Leadership Conference
March 2017 High School Conference at the Reagan Ranch
June 2017 High School Conference at the Reagan Ranch
October 2017 High School Conference at the Reagan Ranch
2018 National High School Leadership Conference
March 2018 High School Conference at the Reagan Ranch
In just two weeks, we will host another sold out conference, as high schools from all across the country join together at the Reagan Ranch in Santa Barbara, California, to learn from the top leaders in the Conservative Movement. In addition, many of our programs are streamed online and thousands more individuals participate LIVE with YAF Virtual Pass! Our #onlyatYAF content is already in high demand and this is just the beginning.
