Philadelphia Society

Future of freedom - the future of freedom initiative, supported by the john william pope foundation, seeks to refresh, rebuild, and revitalize american conservatism by providing fellowships to promising young leaders. Participants attend two society meetings and engage in online reading and discussion groups.

Fellowships - the society offers a limited number of competitive felloeships to allow exceptional young leaders to attend the semi-annual conferences. The purpose of this program is to foster intellectual vitality and growth for the society. As such, priority is given to those applicants who demonstrate interest in the intellectual renewal of a social order of free and responsible individuals, potentially through their professional activities, and those who are likely to join the society in the future.

Founders' fellows - the founders' fellows program brings together 12 rising leaders dedicated to advancing the intellectual foundations of a free and ordered society. Participants are selected from a pool of distinguished candidates who demonstrate academic excellence, exceptional leadership in their field, and a desire to study and debate the essential ideas of the american founding and the future of freedom. Fellows will participate in a day-long socratic discussion colloquium in advance of attending the society's spring meeting. Discussion sessions will be led by leading experts in the liberty movement.
