Ave Maria University's Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) is a dynamic force for conservatism, activism, and intellectual discourse on campus. Committed to promoting traditional values and individual liberty, the club serves as a platform for students to engage in meaningful discussions, host influential speakers, and advocate for conservative principles. Through events, debates, and community outreach initiatives, YAF members champion the ideals of limited government, free enterprise, and a strong national defense. With a focus on education, activism, and leadership development, Ave Maria's YAF empowers students to defend their beliefs, challenge the status quo, and shape the future of conservatism on campus and beyond.
Meetings occur once a month, and events include the 9/11 project and hosting speakers. Membership requires active participation.
