Mission Statement

The first decade of this millennium has revealed a series of unique challenges for American leadership.  Therefore, it is vital that today's young people be afforded every opportunity to become more aware of our country's heritage and its economic, political and cultural principles.  The application of these principles has granted the Unites States the highest standard of living and the greatest personal freedoms the world has ever known.

The 2012 Youth Citizenship Seminar (YCS) is a five-day program designed to stir new interest and even greater passion and understanding for this Country.  Through inspiring presentations, interactive workshops, unique break-out sessions, and one-on-one communication with world renowned speakers and leaders from all walks of life, we hope to assist today's young men and women in becoming better acquainted with America and motivate them to a more compelling expression of pride in this Country.  Additionally, YCS affords a unique opportunity for personal growth.  Students come away with a renewed sense of purpose and ability, and an understanding of how to put their dreams into action.

Thirty years of YCS history have proven that this experience deeply affects the lives of the 275 students selected to attend.  We are pleased to be able to provide the Seminar again this year as we validate THE FUTURE LEADERS OF AMERICA.
