Turning Point USA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded on June 5, 2012, by Charlie Kirk. Since the founding, it has embarked on a mission to build the most organized, active, and influential grassroots activist network on college campuses across the country. With a presence on over 1,100 college campuses and high schools, Turning Point USA is the largest and fastest growing youth organization in America. The group achieves its mission of identifying, organizing, and empowering free market activists through the National Field Program, which aims to:
Launch, organize, and support student groups that exist to educate students about the benefits of limited government, capitalism, and freedom
Build and maintain the largest national database of students who believe in capitalism and free markets
Unite like-minded campus organizations in an effort to increase impact and activism collaboration
Educate students about the importance of free market values through well-planned, effective activism initiatives
Re-brand free market values on college campuses through student-driven messaging efforts and face-to-face conversations
Effectively push back against intolerance and bias against conservatives in higher educati

Empower and train students to join the movement and become activists on their campuses and within their communities
Training and Activism
Turning Point USA hosts a series of student activist training conferences that are designed to train and equip our best student leaders, provide one-of-a-kind networking opportunities, and inspire and empower students to be fearless in their fight for our values. These conferences bring students from all across the country together to learn about the issues, hone their activism skills, and form life-long coalitions with other leaders in the movement.
Annual TPUSA conferences include the Young Women’s Leadership Summit, Young Latino Leadership Summit, High School Activist Conference, and Winter in West Palm Beach Activist Retreat.
Turning Point USA’s National Field Program is the largest and most powerful campus activist program in America. For years, the left has dominated college campuses with paid field organizers, daily activism initiatives, and endless waves of leftist propaganda. With a presence on over 1,300 college campuses nationwide, Turning Point USA has a stronger, more organized presence than all of the left-wing campus groups combined.
TPUSA works consistently to re-brand free market values. With sound bites like, “Big Government Sucks” and the incorporation of pop culture, TPUSA is able to reach new demographics and continuously expand the base. We combine culture with politics to engage young people in meaningful face-to-face conversations.
Through innovative messaging and strategic outreach techniques, TPUSA is able to identify over 150,000 conservative activists in a single school year, and engage in over 500,000 face-to-face conversations with college students each semester.
To date, Turning Point USA has launched over 400 TPUSA chapters and provided thousands of like-minded student groups with resources such as activism supplies, leadership training, and field staff support. TPUSA believes that the movement is stronger when everyone works together — especially on college campuses where leftists stand united and strong.
In addition to developing a first-class campus activism program, TPUSA has written several original publications including:
— Capitalism Cures
— The Healthcare Games
— Game of Loans
— If The Founders Had Twitter
— 5 Reasons Censorship Should Offend You
These publications are written specifically for students, and designed to provide readers with facts, figures, and talking points that can be used to promote and explain important issues facing country.
