About CRF
Constitutional Rights Foundation (CRF) is a non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to helping our nation’s young people become engaged citizens and understand the rule of law, the legal process, and their constitutional heritage.
Established in 1962, CRF is guided by a board of directors drawn from the worlds of law, business, government, education, and the media.
Volunteers provide vital support for many CRF programs and activities and serve as adult role models for our youthful participants.
CRF’s professional staff includes teachers and educators, lawyers, fundraisers, designers, editors and writers, and youth development specialists.
