SFL is here to help. We work with pro-liberty organizations across the spectrum from general pro-liberty groups that call themselves Students For Liberty to particular strains of pro-liberty thought like Austrian Economics Clubs to single-issue organizations such as Students for Sensible Drug Policy. SFL’s Campus Coordinators and Regional Directors will help you through the process of finding other pro-liberty students, holding events, garnering recognition, and creating a vibrant forum for freedom on your campus. If you are interested in starting a group, just follow these simple steps:
Step 1: Let SFL know by filling out this form.
Step 2: Read SFL’s “How to Start a Student Organization for Liberty” handbook
Step 3: Check out the resources listed below offered by SFL and our friendly organizations for your new pro-liberty group
Step 4: Start taking action on the instructions in the handbook with the support of SFL!
- Resources -
Webinar Program – Learn how to be an effective student leader from the comfort of your dorm room with SFL’s webinars on student leadership.
Speakers Network - Speaker events are a great way to build your group and find new students while educating current members. Use the SFL Speakers Network to find a speaker today.
FIRE Handbooks - The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education produces handbooks about your endangered free speech rights on campus and how you can defend them.
Student Conferences – There is no better group bonding experience than attending a SFL Regional or International Conference. Bring your membership to get them energized and educated to be strong advocates of liberty.
Handbooks - Students For Liberty has put together a group of pro-liberty publications written by students. These are available for free in PDF format and cover a wide range of topics applicable to students today on campus. They are all available here.
Tabling Kits - A new resource available to student groups is the SFL Tabling Kits. These kits include resources from The Cato Institute, FEE, Reason Magazine, Atlas Economic Research Foundation, FIRE and SFL. This is a great way to draw attention to your organizations table and provide a variety of intellectual resources to attract new members and reach out to people from any political persuasion. Go here for more details.

wow this is exciting
I am about to give up
maybe not.
Eric, where do you go to school?
My university has a couple of other student groups associated with the SFL, but they seem to be largely inactive and centered around conservative politics instead of free market economics and individual liberty.
I really appreciate this information as I am trying to start an Austrian Economics group at my university. I sent my information to SFL, and I hope to hear back soon! Thanks.
I'm starting a pro-liberty group on my campus this semester and I'm centering it around Austrian economics because I've actually met quite a few conservatives who are somewhat interested in the philosophy of liberty because they are socially tolerant, and I figure that the easiest way to teach them liberty is through Austrian economics, instead of hitting them w/ the civil libertarian stuff first. If they can understand the true nature of Austrian economics then being more socially liberal will come as a result I believe.
Anyway, if you want to keep in touch perhaps we can share strategies w/ each other? Right now I have 2 guys from one of my classes that I've shared the Broken Window Fallacy with and also Hazlitt's Economics in One Lesson. I think that's a good starting place. Look me up on facebook!
For some reason I cannot submit the form. It says I am not submitting something in the "NAME" field when I am. Is there a work around?
If the form is not working you can simply send the information in email format to the SFL Internal Operations Manager Peter Neiger at pneiger@studentsforliberty.org
Am a small entrepreneur group leader am i eligible to apply for board member.
Hi my name is Scott Camuto and I am the President of the College Libertarians at McDaniel College. The current location for the Student Group is Westminster, MD not Reisterstown. That is the location of our former president Ross Smith. Could you change the location. Thanks.

Such programs can really bring students together to share ideas.The same applies to those that are workers, through this people can exchange business ideas which can be of great help to other business partners from all works of life.
Greetings! How does one join your organization?
SFL is not as much as a student based organization, it is a network for students and Student organizations can join and link up. Much of these student organizations have their own website.
For more information please email Info@StudentsforLiberty.org!! Thanks and we look forward to hearing from you soon.
Vorpaladin – Although it is nice to believe non pre-emtive war is a sound principal, it can be a naive position. For instance, Nazi Germany building up it's military while the rest of the world sat idly by until it was too late. I think Iraq is a bit different yet not entirely. They violated 17 U.N. resolutions and forbade inspectors to see the sites of their supposed weaponry. FDR dismantled our military and hence – invited agression. The same process is underway today.
