High School Free Enterprise Leaders Conference

“This conference has educated me on how to combat socialism with facts and promote the free market and America…” – David Smith, High School Free Enterprise Leaders Conference attendee

Young America’s Foundation’s High School Free Enterprise Leaders Conference is a unique, life-changing program designed specifically for high school students across America. A “crash course” in business and economics, this conference will expose you to the truth about socialism, big government, and the incredible benefits of free enterprise and entrepreneurship that your teachers and textbooks may not be teaching you.

No prior knowledge or involvement in these areas is required to attend. You will leave a more informed student, a stronger leader, and a more passionate activist.

BENEFITS FOR YOU:

• Learn key business and economic ideas
• Interact with top business leaders and economic experts
• Gain access to valuable resources
• Participate in training on effective school activism strategies
• Meet and network with like-minded students
• Improve your debate skills
• Become a leader at your school

• Governor Scott Walker, President of Young America’s Foundation and 45^th Governor of Wisconsin
