Founders Series
Preserve what you build, then pass it on
Faith, family, and freedom grow stronger when guided by responsibility.
The legacy principle
A free society does not maintain itself; it depends on people who practice virtue, invest in the next generation, and carry forward the moral foundations that allow liberty to flourish. Freedom without character frays, rights require responsibilities, and self‑government rests on self‑control. This page invites you to consider how wisdom, resources, and example can help young Americans learn to love freedom and use it well. A republic lasts when citizens know how to govern themselves. Family teaches patience and perseverance. Faith teaches humility and hope. Community service trains the heart to look outward. When these habits are present, freedom becomes a blessing rather than a burden.
Your role today
You carry stories worth telling, lessons worth passing on, and strength that younger voices need. Mentor a student who wants to start a respectful dialogue club. Sponsor a campus event that models civil disagreement. Share a short testimony about how faith or family shaped your view of liberty. If you lead a business or a nonprofit, open a door for an internship that teaches responsibility and service.
Mentor moment: An alum met weekly with two student leaders to plan a “conversation night.” Attendance doubled by the third month, and tensions dropped as trust grew.
Made in America, on purpose
Every Founders Tier garment is 100 percent Made in the USA from start to finish. Stewardship includes sustaining American workers, American craft, and American supply chains. This line exists to honor those who built what we now enjoy and to encourage those who will protect it next.
Stories that build courage
We feature short profiles of alumni who invest in campus dialogue, families who serve together, and chapters that pair debate with community service. You will also find practical guides for hosting a dinner that invites honest conversation, for supporting a student through a difficult stand, and for giving wisely to programs that deliver measurable impact without compromising principles.
Invite, invest, and multiply
If you have been blessed, consider becoming a blessing to a chapter near you. Give time, give counsel, and if you are able, give financial support to scholarships or travel funds so more students can attend training on viewpoint diversity and peaceful persuasion. Share your story and let it encourage a student who wonders if courage still matters in public life. It does, and your presence proves it.
- Keep your tone steady and your questions honest.
- It is fine to say, “I am still learning.”
- The goal is understanding and clarity, not scoring points.
