About Us

Freedom Together
We strive to bring together students to advocate for the ideas of limited government, individual freedom, free enterprise, traditional values and a strong national defense.
Bold Conservatism
We provide a visible presence for the Conservative Movement, energize other students, and encourage them to speak out.


Our Rich History
YAF was founded on September 11, 1960, by young conservatives who met at the home of William F. Buckley Jr. and wrote its founding document the Sharon Statement.
