Mission Statement

America’s republican democracy and its liberal promises of freedom and equality are at risk: . Too many American adults neither understand nor trust how our system of government works. Instead of insisting on a free and fair competition of ideas, too many look the other way when their politicians bend or break the rules to win. In response, we help American adults understand and explain why democracy is precious and how, together, we can protect and improve the foundations of trust in our republic. We do so by providing materials for civic education, ages 18 and up.

Description

Our team includes a small staff, a policy board, an advisory board, and a review board to ensure high quality products. All are unpaid volunteers. We are drawn from conservative, progressive and independent thinkers. Our ages range from low 20s through the 80s. Most of our board members have deep experience in teaching or promoting democracy around the world, and some have been actively involved in politics at the local, state, and national levels.

There are few causes more important at this time than protecting and fostering our democratic institutions and culture. CFFAD is a great place to put your skills towards this mission. The team culture is great and lets volunteers commit as much or as little time as they can. The executive director, Doug, is also keen on matching volunteers with work that suits their skills and interests. I highly recommend volunteering with CFFAD.
