Welcome to the Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge-

America's School for Citizenship Education

Founded in 1949 as a non-profit education organization, Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge is dedicated to helping students, teachers and citizens gain a greater awareness and appreciation of the principles of a free and democratic society.

With the support of our national volunteer chapters, we present educational and awards programs to foster engaged citizenship, exploring civics, U.S. history, the American political process, student entrepreneurship, youth leadership, constitutional rights and the judicial process. Our purpose is to educate and inspire citizens of all ages, promote volunteerism, and encourage them to make a positive contribution in their communities.

Our mission:

• Educate our youth about the importance of leadership and responsible citizenship



• Promote the ideals and principles of a free society



• Recognize outstanding civic achievements



• Cultivate excellence in education



• Inspire tomorrow's leaders

All programs are held at our 85-acre campus adjacent to historic Valley Forge National Park, providing students with a unique "learning and living" experience.
