Our Programs

Four paths. One mission.

Our youth program for ages 9–18 is built on four interconnected paths: Learn, Lead, Serve, and Create. Together, they transform remembrance into leadership, service, and lasting community impact.

📚

Path 1

Learn

Overview of the Constitution and Bill of Rights

Study Stories of Service and Sacrifice

Young Patriots explore the Constitution, Bill of Rights, the rich history of American service members, veterans, and everyday heroes who shaped our nation. Through engaging curriculum, guest speakers, and immersive experiences, participants gain a deep understanding of their rights and what it means to serve.

Program Activities

  • Interactive history sessions with the Constitution and Bill of Rights
  • Interactive history sessions with veterans
  • Research projects on local heroes
  • Field trips to memorials and historic sites
🧑

Path 2

Lead

Practice Patriot leadership through teamwork

Leadership isn't just about being in charge—it's about responsibility, teamwork, and making decisions that benefit others. Our Lead path develops these skills through real-world collaborative projects. Young Patriots will build their personal resume through hands-on leadership experiences.

Program Activities

  • Team-building exercises and challenges
  • Public speaking and presentation skills
  • Build personal resume
  • Mentorship opportunities with community leaders
🤝

Path 3

Serve

Build community through hands-on projects

Service is patriotism in action. Young Patriots engage in meaningful community service projects that make a real difference—from supporting community events to improving local neighborhoods.

Program Activities

  • Create youth councils
  • Community cleanup and beautification
  • Fundraising for memorial projects
  • Organizing community events

Path 4

Create

Design the memorial and present your vision

The ultimate expression of our program: young Patriots contribute to designing the American Patriot Monuments throughout the country. This isn't a simulation—their ideas shape real, lasting monuments.

Program Activities

  • Memorial-monument design workshops
  • Art and architecture exploration
  • Presentation skills development
  • Collaboration with professional designers
