For Students, By Students

Freedom’s Answer is a program run by the student leaders of America.

A National Advisory Council (NAC) and National Leadership Council (NLC) include students from every state and various organizations like:

• 4-H
• Boys and Girls Club of America
• Boys and Girls Nation; Boys and Girls States
• Boys and Girl Scouts
• DECA
• FFA
• HOBY
• Junior ROTC
• Junior State of America
• National Association of Student Councils
• National Honor Society
• Presidential Classroom
• YMCA Youth in Government
• Youth Partnership Team of America's Promise

The National Advisory Council holds a weekly conference call to discuss the goals and priorities for the Freedom’s Answer Program. Individuals who are apart of this group set the tone and work hard to the lay the foundation for the National Leadership Council.

The National Leadership Council sets the goals and priorities of Freedom’s Answer, then makes the program happen on the ground. Every state has a state Advisory Council, composed of NLC members who meet weekly on a conference call to map out their state strategy.

Whether you’re the student body president or a passionate freshman, you can join the National Leadership Council. It’s just regular teens who care about improving politics and showing Washington DC, our voice matters. All it takes is some time planning and acting – which you get to do with other students from around the country.

If you’re not sure you want to make the commitment to be part of the NLC, you can still help organize your school or community.
