Freedom at 250

In honor of the 250th anniversary of America’s independence, Young America’s Foundation announced its partnership with the Daily Wire early this year along with the addition of Freedom at 250 Rallies to coincide with YAF’s student conferences of 2026. The first conference for college students and Freedom at 250 Rally took place in February in Nashville, TN.  You can watch the entire Rally here.

Hundreds of like-minded college students from across the country will descend upon our nation’s capital this year to celebrate America’s birthday at YAF’s 48th Annual National Conservative Student Conference. This momentous event kicks off with the Freedom at 250 Rally on August 6 at George Washington’s Mount Vernon, headlined by none other than Ben Shapiro. The NCSC continues at the J.W. Marriott in Washington, D.C., through August 8. This promises to be the biggest event in YAF history. For details and registration, go here.


Students who register for NCSC and who belong to a recognized Young Americans for Freedom chapter are automatically entered into the Meet and Greet with Ben Shapiro contest. Terms and Conditions here.

High School students will have their opportunity to celebrate Freedom at 250 June 16-19, 2026, at the Reagan Ranch in Santa Barbara, CA. You may register here. A final Freedom at 250 Rally and conference will take place in Philadelphia, PA, in October of this year. Registration is coming soon.

You can also bring a bold, unapologetic defense of America’s founding ideals to your campus and give fellow students the chance to hear the truth about our history by hosting a speaker as part of Young America’s Foundation’s Freedom at 250 Lecture Series.  Each speaker delivers a compelling, inspiring message about the greatness of America while directly confronting the myths so often pushed in today’s classrooms.

Prepare to advance and defend freedom on your campus and beyond. Celebrate America’s Freedom at 250!
