Overview
Young people today take their country, their freedom, and their way of life for granted. They think all this prosperity, security, and peace just happens. If this attitude continues, they are destined to lose it all. We have all said, "We need to reach the young people. They need to know about freedom - and the cost of freedom. They need to love and appreciate their country." And we all agree. But it doesn't happen. It's always just a wish.
Well, we decided somebody, somehow, must reach them with America's message of freedom and patriotism - and after twenty years of considering, our founder concluded that it must be us. Now schools across the U.S. are requesting our program!
In the past seven semesters we have presented to 91,455 teens. 97% respond that 'Free to Be' has changed their thinking, behavior, goals or life.
We reach about 30,000 students annually with our small staff. Now this grant will enable us to reach 6.4 million students annually!
Come help us make history.
