This fall, YAL will host 10 Campaign Bootcamps in key states across the country to train more than 1,000 grassroots activists in preparation for our upcoming campaign battles in 2012.

These single-day bootcamps are the the important first steps to prepare our movement for election success. The top graduates from these events will go on to work full-time and volunteer for the liberty candidates of their choice.

Attendance is a must if you are serious about winning elections and getting involved locally.

To help recruit local tea party, liberty, and conservative activists, 5 of the largest grassroots organizations in the country – Campaign for Liberty, American Majority, Americans for Prosperity, FreedomWorks, and the Leadership Institute – have joined YAL to co-sponsor all 10 events. Combined, their membership consists of over 2.2 million activists nationwide.

We expect a very large turnout at every event, so please register for a campaign bootcamp today.

Thanks to YAL's generous donors, the registration fee to attend a Campaign Bootcamp is only $20. This includes all your training materials and lunch and dinner for the day.

What about your friends?

To encourage you to recruit your friends, family, and especially YAL chapter members, YAL is offering some sweet recruitment bonuses!  Here's the deal:

* The Campaign Bootcamp in Reno, NV is part of the LPAC conference and thus has a different registration fee of $35 for students and $109 for general admission.  This fee includes the entire conference.  This event is not eligible for recruitment bonuses.

The 10 Campaign Bootcamps are scattered throughout the country to give you the best opportunity to attend. Each training seminar is only one day, so you are not required to get a hotel room. Please find the Campaign Bootcamp nearest you and register now.

YAL can only host these 10 Campaign Bootcamps with your support.

Registration is only $20, so students and young people can afford to attend. Obviously, this will not cover the full cost of every training seminar. Therefore, YAL is asking you to pitch-in and sponsor one or more students.

A student sponsorship is only $35 and will provide for the meals, training, and materials for a single student.

Please consider sponsoring multiple students and contributing $70, $105, or even $350 to offset these costs.

For every $35 sponsorship sponsor you give, we will connect you with the student you supported and ask them to write you a letter about their experience. This is a specific way you can make an enormous difference for our country and in a young person's life.

Your participation in this effort is absolutely vital if we are going to succeed in 2012. Please give as much as you can.

The mission of Young Americans for Liberty (YAL) is to train, educate, and mobilize youth activists committed to "winning on principle." Our goal is to cast the leaders of tomorrow and reclaim the policies, candidates, and direction of our government.  These bootcamps are coordinated through YAL's most important program to date, Year of Youth. 

American Majority is a national non-profit, non-partisan political training institute whose mission is to train and equip a national network of leaders committed to individual freedom through limited government and the free market.

Americans for Prosperity (AFP) is committed to educating citizens about economic policy and mobilizing those citizens as advocates in the public policy process. AFP is an organization of grassroots leaders who engage citizens in the name of limited government and free markets on the local, state, and federal levels. The grassroots activists of AFP advocate for public policies that champion the principles of entrepreneurship and fiscal and regulatory restraint.

The mission of Campaign for Liberty is to promote and defend the great American principles of individual liberty, constitutional government, sound money, free markets, and a noninterventionist foreign policy, by means of educational and political activity.

FreedomWorks recruits, educates, trains and mobilizes millions of volunteer activists to fight for less government, lower taxes, and more freedom.  FreedomWorks believes individual liberty and the freedom to compete increases consumer choices and provides individuals with the greatest control over what they own and earn.
