The COVID-19 pandemic presents an extraordinary challenge to the
American people and our government. Since our founding in 1949, the Freedoms
Foundation at Valley Forge has kept the flame of freedom burning brightly by
educating Americans about their past and instilling in young people the virtue
that will ensure the country’s future.
We host young men and women and help them become engaged,
responsible citizens, knowledgeable in American history and democracy. Their
experience at Valley Forge—which is made possible by your contributions—instills
in them an understanding of their constitutional rights and an appreciation of
our free enterprise system and entrepreneurship. We work to enable, motivate,
and prepare young citizens to serve as leaders in their communities. The
lessons taught and learned at our programs for students and teachers are the
foundations of a healthy, productive, and respectful society and political
culture.
