Young Americans for Freedom

Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) is a conservative youth organization founded in 1960, aimed at promoting principles such as limited government, free markets, and individual liberties among college students and young people in the United States. It was established to rally young conservatives around a common platform, countering the dominance of liberal ideologies on college campuses. YAF engages in activism, hosts events, and supports conservative speakers, fostering a community where young conservatives can organize, discuss ideas, and advocate for their beliefs. Its focus remains on cultivating leadership and advocacy skills among the youth in the context of American political life.
