Mission
Students For Liberty is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide a unified, student-driven forum of support for students and student organizations dedicated to liberty.
About Us
The philosophy of liberty is in jeopardy today. The older generations have let us down, and there seem to be few short-term solutions. Our hope for a free society lies in the future. The best investment one can make to promote liberty today is in the youth, particularly in students.
The problem is significant, but the solution is clear: There is a need for an organization to counter the climate of authoritarianism on campus by directly supporting students dedicated to liberty.

Activities
Students For Liberty provides an abundance of activities, programs and resources to support students interested in liberty. SFL’s efforts can be broken down into 3 general categories:
1) Training
SFL is a leader in the field of student group resources by providing consulting services targeted directly towards student groups to help groups form and run more efficiently. This includes publications on how to effectively run student groups such as our How to Start a Student Organization for Liberty guide, as well as one-on-one support where SFL leaders tackle specific problems that student organizations send to us.
2) Networking
SFL networks students interested in liberty with three groups: students, leaders, and organizations. SFL connects students dedicated to liberty with other students to strengthen their support for one another and show students that they are not alone. SFL provides opportunities for students to meet leaders in the cause of liberty today at our many conferences and through our alumni outreach. Lastly, SFL seeks to expose students interested in liberty to the many organizations that exist to promote liberty to students. Our hope is that by strengthening these networks, students will become more enthusiastic about liberty and be better equipped to promote liberty on campus.
3) Resources
SFL provides independent resources to promote liberty and empower students to be leaders of liberty. These include an academic journal, free books for reading groups, e-leadership webinars, protest grants, and many more resources that are coming out soon.

Hello to all, I learn of your group via the Reality Report on youtube. I agree with much of what you say. One thing I would like to know is how the older generations have let you down? I know that I can think of a couple dozen people that have been fighting for the last 40 years for liberty and a great deal are still fighting tirelessly to this very day.
Robert,
There certainly are individuals who have been championing Liberty over the last several decades. The problem is that the majority has come to slowly accept forms of authoritarianism that would have been rejected 130 years ago. The Gilded Age and the Progressive Era turned government into a benevolent Nanny who will give us whatever she thinks we need, at the cost of individual liberty.
Robert, I am 77 years old. Yes we let you down, We were so busy raising our children, working, and volunteering in our communities that we paid little attention to politics and the details of government policies. The growth and reach of the federal government expanded right under our noses and we didn't see it Pure neglect.
