Constitutional Rights Foundation (CRF) is a non-profit, non-partisan educational organization dedicated to helping our nation’s young people to become well-informed, engaged, and active citizens and to understand their rights and respon - sibilities as members of our democracy. Established in 1962, CRF is guided by a dedicated board of directors drawn from the worlds of law, business, government, education, and the media. CRF’s professional staff includes teachers and educators, lawyers, writers and editors, and youth development spe - cialists. Volunteers also provide vital support for many CRF programs and activities and serve as adult role models for youthful participants. To accomplish its goals and objectives, CRF applies its resources in the following areas:
