Turning Point USA (TPUSA) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization founded in 2012 by Charlie Kirk. The organization’s mission is to identify, educate, train, and organize students to promote the principles of freedom, free markets, and limited government. We believe that every young person can be enlightened to true free market values. Since its founding, TPUSA has embarked on a mission to build the most organized, active, and powerful conservative grassroots activist network on high school and college campuses across the country. With a presence on over 3,000 campuses, TPUSA is the largest and fastest-growing youth organization in America.

What We Believe:

• The United States of America is the greatest country in the history of the world.
• The US Constitution is the most exceptional political document ever written.
• Capitalism is the most moral and proven economic system ever discovered.

Our Activists Strive to:

• Educate students about the importance of freedom, free markets, and limited government. With innovative marketing techniques and strategic outreach methods, TPUSA has expanded our presence to include 3,000 high school and college campuses nationwide.
• Identify student activists across the country who believe in limited government and individual liberty. TPUSA activists are the community organizers of the right.
• Empower young activists to get involved in the fight for free markets and limited government. Through building strong campus networks, organizing conferences, and equipping activists with the knowledge and strategies needed to combat the left, TPUSA empowers young people to make a difference within their community.
• Organize young activists in chapters and networks across the country. TPUSA believes there is strength in organization, and our activists work tirelessly to build grassroots networks on every high school and college campus in America.
• Mobilize students who believe in free markets. TPUSA mobilizes its networks to get involved in activism, issue advocacy, public policy education, and grassroots organization.
• Register students to vote. TPUSA has helped thousands of college students apply for voter registration and access absentee ballots.
