How it all Began

Two years ago, at a leadership conference in Orlando, Florida, one of the speakers asked a question that stuck with then 17-year-old Daniel Shaver: 'If you could do anything for the glory of God, what would it be?'

The question lingered in Daniel’s mind long after the conference ended, shaping the way he saw the world around him. Daniel noticed a troubling trend: many people his age seemed lonely, disconnected, and apathetic toward the issues that mattered the most. It was almost like they were trying to scroll past the challenges facing their communities like Instagram reel. But Daniel believed that civics and service held the key to reconnecting people, not just to each other, but to a shared sense of purpose. Determined to make a difference, he decided to take action.

From Vision to Venture

Daniel knew recognizing the problem wasn't enough, he needed to take action. He envisioned an association that would not only teach the principles of civics but also provide practical avenues for service, allowing young people to see the direct impact of their contributions while making lifelong friendships with others who shared their passion.

In 2023, with the support of a few close friends, Daniel turned his vision into reality. The newly formed team began organizing service projects and hosting panels that brought the community together. These initiatives quickly became the cornerstone of the organization, establishing it as a truly nonpartisan bridge between civic engagement and meaningful service.
