Our Vision
The Monterey Bay Area Chapter of Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge envisions an America where the rising generation loves their country and understands, values, and defends its founding ideals.
Who We Are
Founded by members of liked minded civic organizations in July 2023, the Monterey Bay Area Chapter is focused on promoting the American spirit by sponsoring students and teachers to educational programs at the headquarters in Valley Forge and promoting responsible citizenship within its local communities.
Students
Thousands of students from across the country have obtained a greater understanding and appreciation of American history and civic responsibility through Freedoms Foundation’s Spirit of America Youth Leadership.
Learn about democracy, the judiciary, the political process, founding documents, and the free enterprise system through innovative workshops and historical site visits that allow you to encounter our nation’s past, present and future. During your residential stay, you will also build leadership skills, engage in civil discourse, and identify how you can positively impact your community.
The Monterey Bay Area Chapter sponsors freshman, sophomores, juniors, and seniors to attend the Spirit of America Youth Leadership. Students are selected through an application process. If you or a student you know is interested in applying, please contact the chapter at max@maxschell.com
