Student Service Clubs

Our new Student Directors made an impact in the first few months by representing Founding Forward at their annual Club Rush events, showcasing the club and what it has to offer. In September, they recruited interested students and held meetings to discuss future events such as community service projects, the Spirit of America trip, and the upcoming Constitution Bowl.

Upcoming Calendar Events

November 1 – Spirit of America application deadline
November 16 – Constitution Bowl
December 1 – Essay Contest Deadline

Constitution Bowl

Our annual Constitution Bowl will be held November 16th at John Adams Academy in Lincoln. Now is the time to start preparing and studying! Immerse yourself in important national documents and deepen your understanding of the intricacies of our government, then participate in a town-hall style competition against other teams from local high schools. High schoolers of all grades are welcome to participate in this fun event. Look for more information on our website at sacramento.foundingforward.org.

Spirit of America Trip

Applications for the Spirit of America program are open now until November 1st, and all juniors are encouraged to apply! This all-expenses-paid experience allows students to travel to Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, where they will meet historical reenactors and speakers during the 3-day leadership conference, participate in workshops and activities, and meet students from around the country.
