Endorsements & Testimonials

Our organization was founded in 1963, and we have helped recruit, train, and deploy thousands of college-aged conservative activists throughout our 59 year history. We have hosted great speakers on campus like: Charlie Kirk, Candace Owens, Dinesh D'Souza, Dennis Prager, Will Witt, and Sen. Rick Santorum! We've sponsored activism events on campus that have been covered by national press, like TIME, FOX, and more. We have also helped elect Republicans each cycle — most recently giving Rep. Mike Garcia the best day of volunteer phone calls for his 2020 campaign. We are hard at work and we hope we can continue to earn your support!
