Do you want your conservative club to:

  • Reach hundreds or even thousands of students on campus
  • Create buzz and debate in classrooms
  • Dominate social media in your area
  • Uncover allies on campus and your community who will rise to support your efforts
  • Expand membership in your club

The secrets to hitting these goals for any student club will be revealed by attending YAF’s Command Your Campus seminar on February 27-28, 2026 at the Reagan Ranch in Santa Barbara, California where you will discover how to bring the biggest names in the Conservative Movement to your college campus.

A single successful event can catapult your club into becoming one of the premier organizations on your campus!

Young America’s Foundation specializes in helping students like you to host conservative luminaries including Ben Shapiro, Michael Knowles, Chloe Cole, Ben Carson, and more than 80 others all speak through YAF on a regular basis.

Our team will walk you through how you can bring one of these powerful presenters to campus and upend the liberal orthodoxy that controls your school.

This seminar will provide you with revolutionary ideas and information on how you can organize a successful speaking event.

Some of the topics covered include:

  • the secrets of successful fundraising from school and private sources
  • how to maximize your impact
  • effective publicity techniques
  • how to counter dirty tricks by the Left
  • and more

Not only will you hear the latest breakthrough ideas on how to organize successful events, you will also be inspired by a tour of Ronald Reagan’s ranch, Rancho del Cielo.

The seminar is free and the Foundation will provide lodging and travel for select students traveling significant distances.
