Ten Years of Turning Point USA
Today, Turning Point USA is beyond excited to announce our TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY! What started as a National Field Program on College campuses has expanded into a multi-departmental activism machine that now engages millions of young conservatives on and off campus through the largest annual events in the conservative movement, our massive presence on social and mainstream media, and our endless grassroots initiatives; which are not only on college campuses, but now in high schools across the country.

Charlie Kirk reflected on the enduring support of those who have made Turning Point USA’s incredible student-focused activism possible for the past ten years:
“Turning Point USA’s grassroot success is only possible thanks to the decade-long financial support of passionate and patriotic Americans who, by their unwavering generosity, allow us to produce educational materials and nationwide training for our young student activists—the core of our conservative movement and the future of American leadership. Turning Point USA’s next ten years—and the future of America—are in the hands of young, active, and trained patriotic student leaders, all thanks to our grassroots financial supporters who believe in Turning Point USA.” — Charlie Kirk, Founder and CEO
With continued support, Turning Point USA is committed to engaging even more Americans to learn about Conservative values and continue fighting and winning the American Culture War for decades to come.
