In a time when division, misinformation, and apathy threaten the future of the nation, a growing movement is working to equip young Americans with the truth, confidence, and tools they need to become engaged citizens and leaders.
American Youth, a bold new initiative from American Faith, is not just another civics program. It is a national movement designed to reach rising young voters—high school and college-age students—before they step into the voting booth for the first time. The goal is clear: to ensure that the next generation of Americans is informed, inspired, and ready to shape the country they will inherit.
The Urgent Need
The statistics paint a sobering picture:
- Only 47% of young adults (ages 18–29) voted in the 2024 presidential election.
- More than 70% of Americans cannot pass a basic civics test.
- Over half of teenagers say they would become involved in civic life if someone simply showed them how.
These young people are not apathetic. They are uninformed, overwhelmed, and waiting for someone to believe in them and guide them.
American Youth was launched because the need is undeniable—and because the future of the country depends on it.
A Movement, Not a Classroom
American Youth stands apart from traditional civics education by focusing on real-world leadership and peer-to-peer influence. The initiative identifies and mentors high school and college students who show courage and conviction, turning them into ambassadors for truth, faith, and freedom.
These young leaders are empowered to:
- Create viral social media content that reaches millions of their peers
- Launch their own podcasts that speak to their generation in its own language
- Organize events and initiatives on campuses and in communities
The program provides personal mentorship, strategic training, and full backing from the American Faith team, so these students are not left to figure it out alone.
A Story of Transformation
Take Jayden, an 18-year-old who voted for the first time in 2024. Her life has been marked by significant challenges, yet she has met them with remarkable resilience and faith. After finding Christ, Jayden felt called to live as a “dual citizen”—honoring her heavenly citizenship while still caring deeply about the nation she calls home.
When Election Day arrived, however, no one had ever explained to her how to vote, where to go, or what was on the ballot. She cast her vote, but the experience left her determined that other young people should not have to face the same uncertainty.
Stories like Jayden’s are exactly why American Youth exists: to ensure that young Americans are equipped with both the knowledge and the confidence to participate meaningfully in the future of their country.
Grounded in Core Principles
American Youth is built on the same foundational convictions that guide all of American Faith’s work:
- Truth is objective, not subjective.
- News must be impartial to truly serve society.
- Accuracy and reliability are essential for trust.
- Shared values strengthen the nation.
- America is worth defending—and everyone has a role to play.
The Heart of the Mission
While American Faith continues to provide clear, reliable news through AmericanFaith.com, Project Redbird, LexRex, and the We The People Project, the organization has recognized that the long-term future of the country will not be secured in newsrooms or courtrooms alone.
It will be shaped by the rising generation of young Americans—the voters, parents, and leaders of tomorrow.
American Youth is now the beating heart of the mission: a movement that believes in young people, equips them with truth and leadership skills, and sends them out to influence their peers and their communities.
In a rapidly shifting nation, the next generation is not the problem. They are the answer.
And American Youth is giving them the tools to lead.
