American Civics Education for Youth
Empowering Tomorrow's Patriotic Leaders
We inspire America’s youth to become more informed and engaged citizens.

Number of Youth Engaged During 2024-2025 School Year
In the first year of Give Me Liberty, over 2,000 students
have gained a deeper understanding of American history & civics.
Supporting History & Civics Education
When Americans grasp the richness of their identity and heritage, they unlock the power to unite and strengthen their communities.
By applying this knowledge and celebrating our shared story, we can build a brighter future together.
A major challenge that modern society faces is that many schools and school districts struggle to effectively teach American history and civics due to limited resources. Additionally, teachers are expected to carry this responsibility load without sufficient support.

Many schools struggle to effectively teach American history and civics due to limited resources and support.
By focusing on the Charters of Freedom, namely the Declaration of Independence, US Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and reviewing the ideals contained within these documents, United We Pledge’s Give Me Liberty program strengthens understanding of the blessings and responsibilities of being an American citizen.
We teach the rights and responsibilities of citizenship and celebrate what unites us as Americans. The Give Me Liberty program encourages families and communities to come together, starting with the youth, to appreciate their shared American history.
Additionally, the program supplies schools with resources and support that enable teachers to teach American history and civics more effectively, even with limited time and funding. This helps students learn about their rights and responsibilities as citizens.
United We Pledge partners with schools, providing resources and assisting with challenges in teaching American history and civics.
