What is your statement of purpose? *
A purpose statement (or mission statement) de nes what what your organization wants to accomplish.

We are the Young Americans for Liberty. We recognize the natural rights of life, liberty, and
property set forth by our Founding Fathers. Our country was created to protect the freedoms of
the individual and be directed by We the People.
We recognize that freedom requires responsibility, and therefore we hold ourselves to a high
standard of character and conduct. Integrity motivates our action. Principle de nes our outlook
towards government. Peace and prosperity drive our ambitions towards our countrymen.
We inherit a corrupt, coercive world that has lost respect for voluntary action. Our government
has failed and dragged our country into moral decay. The political class dominates the agenda
with a violent, callous, controlling grip. For this we do not stand.
We welcome limited government conservatives, classical liberals, and libertarians who trust in
the creed we set forth.
WE, as Young Americans for Liberty believe:
that government is the negation of liberty;
that voluntary action is the only ethical behavior;
that respect for the individual s property is fundamental to a peaceful society;
that violent action is only warranted in defense of one s property;
that the individual owns his/her body and is therefore responsible for his/her actions;
that society is a responsibility of the people, not the government.

What is your statement of uniqueness? *
Your organization’s uniqueness statement provides the LEAD Center additional details about your organization
beyond what you have stated in your statement of purpose. This is an opportunity to clarify how your proposed
organization is different from other existing student organizations at UC Berkeley and how your group will have a
positive impact on the university community.

Our organization will be building the base for libertarian ideals at Berkeley as the libertarian
presence has faded away on campus over the past few years. We believe our mission will be
coming at a crucial time as our campus witnesses a clash of ideologies with fewer
organizations standing up for personal liberties and freedom of speech while maintaining a
"centrist" or classic liberal position.

How will you ensure your organization will carry out university related
policies? *
Policies of the university include: Berkeley Campus Regulations, The Code of Student Conduct, Nondiscrimination
Policies, Policy on Sexual Harassment and Sexual Violence, Statement on Hazing (Matt’s Law), Policy on Alcohol and
Tobacco on Campus, The Dance Policy, Time, Place, and Manner on Campus, Campus Online Activities Policy, Policy
of Use of University Names, Seals, and Trademarks

We would have a presentation on these policies forbour leadership team and establish of
communication with the adminstration to review the actions of any members who break such
rules during club events or activities.

Browse the LEAD Center’s Funding Guide and list at least one funding
source that could support your organization’s needs, when you should apply,
and how it could support your organization. If you don’t see a funding
source that you’re interested in, describe a funding-related tool, revenue
opportunity, or outside sponsor your organization can access. *
An outside sponsor would the actual YAL National organization as well ad the local networks
the organization helps us set up. These networks, such as "Bay Area Liberty", for example,
would work together in o cial fundraising events to help nance any events, previous ideas
included local bake sales in 12+ schools to fund different speakers

What types of spaces will your organization need? How will you go about
securing spaces for your organization? *
We mainly need lecture halls for invited speakers, not much needed in terms of socials etc. As
for the process of securing these places, we are still unsure about the o cial procedures and
would like to inquire further about them from the LEAD center

How does your organization plan on developing innovative ideas? *
While we have some events that all our national chapters do, our leadership team here at
Berkeley realizes the importance of our campus in America s political clkmate and would like to
include this unique campus culture into our events, as a result one of the ideas we came up
with was a "Politicon" styled week of debates sponsored by the Libertarian clubs on campus
while also hosting other left-left-leaning or right-leaning political clubs to create a dialogue
between the increasingly polarized ends of the political spectrum

How does your organization plan on creating a welcoming environment? *
As one of the main tenants of our organization, we strongly believe in respecting people from
different ideological background and providing a space for dialogue. To do that, we train our
recruitment and leadership teams on how to approach individuals and conduct club events so
that everyone can feel welcomed.

What are the ways your organization will provide social and educational
opportunities to your members and the community? *
Other than inviting local libertarian speakers to education the community on the ideals our club
strives to promote, we would be working closely with other national libertarian-leaning national
organizations that hold workshops and events for youth education and skill development like
the Leadership Institute, who provide YAL members with scholarships to send members to
these workshops as part of the two organizations relationship
