Youth for America is an annual youth conference currently sponsored by George Wythe University. The conference was established by W. Cleon Skousen and William H. Doughty of the Institute for Constitutional Education in the 1980s to teach youth about American Government, leadership, education and community service.
When Doughty's Meadeau View Institute collapsed in 1994, the conferences were continued by George Wythe College, which the institute had established in 1992.
Through at least 2004, the conferences were held on Doughty's land in Mammoth Valley, Utah. In 2008, they were held in Cedar City, Utah, and Monticello, Utah.
In 2010, the conference was renamed Youth for Freedom to recognize international attendees.
