As a contributor for Turning Point USA, I have the privilege of visiting numerous chapters across the country and meeting the resilient students that run school chapters to take a stand against leftist ideologies on high school and college campuses.
TPUSA is an amazing organization that is doing incredible work to fight against the leftist agenda on college and high school campuses nationwide. Their national field program is absolutely crucial in ensuring that conservative voices are heard in the classroom and beyond.
With over 1,500 chapters across the country, the National Field Program (NFP) is leading the charge in promoting conservative ideas and values on campuses nationwide. They are creating a generation of young people who understand the importance of fiscal responsibility, free markets, and limited government, and who are willing to stand up and fight for these principles.
With dedicated staff and volunteers working tirelessly to organize events, rallies, and other activities that promote conservative concepts, NFP is extremely effective at getting important work done in the face of a hostile liberal establishment.
So many students within TPUSA high school or college chapters face harassment or threats from peers, opposing student organizations on campus, and even faculty — it’s clear that the culture war is an uphill battle. TPUSA emphasizes that persistence and dedication make all the difference when facing harsh opposition.
Turning Point USA teaches all of their field managers, field reps, and chapters the three key elements necessary for growth and success:
GRASSROOTS HUMILITY
Every single day we strive to approach our work with humility, integrity, and grace. We recognize that everyone on the TPUSA team is integral to our mission and seek ways to continuously improve our message, operations, systems, techniques, and strategies. Team members understand that every moment is a learning opportunity and the entire team is important as we work to improve, grow, and learn together.
WARRIOR SPIRIT
We work relentlessly and do more with less. We believe that great isn’t good enough, and we never give up or give in. We remain focused on our mission and bring an eternally positive, optimistic, and gracious attitude to work. Team members set an example in our communities by being cheerful, energetic, and enthusiastic about the organization’s cause.
PERSISTENT INNOVATION
We work tirelessly to try new things, improve, and develop ourselves and our ability to reach new audiences — without fear of failure. Consistently adapting our strategies and practicing disciplined goal setting means that we can overcome any obstacle or challenge.
Having been to 33 campuses, 17 in-person events, 7 virtual events, and 1 tour stop just this year alone, I am incredibly excited about the potential I see in young Americans across this country. For anyone that still chooses to believe that our country is lost, I invite you to attend any event hosted by these young patriots! You will see that these individuals are relentless in their quest to fight for a free America. It has been an honor to see their hard work up close and in-person, and I am happy to be in battle with these courageous individuals as we continue to fight this culture war!
