Host a Speaker What Students and Leaders Say About yaf At the educational institutions where we’re supposed to be able to freely think, conservative ideas are often shut down. By being a part of or starting a YAF Chapter, you can openly express your beliefs and take actual action to propel your principles further in an array of creative and effective efforts. By doing so, you can help future generations avoid the injust persecution you have faced for being a free-thinker. Jasmyn Jordan Speak the truth. The truth is powerful. How do you know the truth is powerful? Because it scares the living daylights out of the left. Senator Ted Cruz Free speech should be revered, especially on campus. When someone is prevented from speaking, that’s a clear case for the courts, and we’ll take it as far as we can. When our ideas are allowed to compete with theirs without being canceled, our ideas win. YAF President Scott Walker I think that the Young America’s Foundation plays a very important role. I think anybody...will have some sense of what this is all about and why Young America’s Foundation matters. Speaker Newt Gingrich I joined YAF freshman year and I quickly realized how much they have to offer. The resources and support they give students every way is unmatched. I’ve learned so much about how to be an effective leader and activist and am proud to be part of YAF.
