Young America’s Foundation is committed to ensuring that increasing numbers of young Americans understand and are inspired by the ideas of individual freedom, a strong national defense, free enterprise, and traditional values. As the principal outreach organization of the Conservative Movement, the Foundation introduces thousands of American youth to these principles. We accomplish our mission by providing essential conferences, seminars, educational materials, internships and speakers to young people across the country.

Weekly seminars and on-the-job experience provide participants with the tools to become a leader in combating bias in the mainstream media. Founded in 1977, more than 1,600 alumni have graduated from NJC's 12-week training sessions, and some 900 of these have gone on to media and media-related positions. The latest project of the Foundation is Young Americans for Freedom. In 2011, Young Americans for Freedom united with Young America's Foundation. Now students can form Young Americans for Freedom chapters on their campus to advance conservatism.
