Friends Of The NRA Dates

“The Youth Education Summit is the ultimate American experience. It is an opportunity for youth to learn about our rights through researching, debating, visiting our capitol, and meeting peers from across our nation. Y.E.S. may last only a week, but its influence has a much longer duration. As an alumna of Y.E.S. 2013, I still utilize the resources and skills that the summit provided. Before Y.E.S., I wanted to make a difference in preserving our freedom, but, as a typical 17-year-old, I wasn’t sure how to begin. Y.E.S. changed that. The NRA Foundation realizes youths’ potential, and because of this program young Americans become involved in public speaking, Friends of NRA events, youth education, and so much more. Y.E.S. is truly a unique program because it encourages youth to make an impact in America—not just for a week, but for a lifetime.”

Jacqueline took what she learned at Y.E.S. and shared it with her community. She was awarded an $8,000 scholarship for all of her she did to spread the message of NRA and Y.E.S. She also helped Lead The Legacy in her own home by encouraging her younger siblings to apply to the Y.E.S. program. Her brother John attended in 2016, and Isaac (pictured) attended in 2018.
