Freedoms
Foundation at
Valley Forge
is a national, nonpartisan, non-sectarian, educational organization with a 501
© (3) status. It exists to educate
and inspire an awareness of the principles upon which
America
was founded and the responsibilities of citizens in a free society.
The
Mission
is carried out in the Foundation’s education and awards program.
We feel that our mission is as important today as it was when we were founded in
1949. In a nation built on the ideas
of liberty and individual rights, it is important that the leaders of tomorrow
understand their civic obligations. It
is equally important for our youth to personally internalize the importance of
maintaining the “
American Way
of Life”. They can honor it by their own exemplary conduct and preserve it for
succeeding generations. Post
September 11th terrorist attacks and continuing threats, episodes of
violence in the schools, calls for character education, drop out rates and the
Administration’s efforts to bring civics education back to the classroom all
indicate there is a need for effective instruction in civics and government.
With this instruction the youth of
America
will have an understanding of our nation and its heritage, and their role as
responsible citizens. Freedoms
Foundation at
Valley Forge
is
the place for just such an education. It
is our vision to become
America
’s School for Citizenship Education.
The
Broward Chapter seeks to carry out the mission defined by our national
headquarters by instituting our own educational programs to impart to Americans
– particularly young Americans – an understanding of and commitment to our
heritage, the basic values upon which our nation was built, the private
enterprise system and responsible citizenship.
