Founding Forward aspires to educate and inspire by:
Founding Forward fosters immersive education experiences for students, teachers, and citizens through an array of in-person programs, historic resources and collections, scholarships, awards, speaker programs, and other unique learning opportunities.
We take students beyond the textbook and classroom to immerse them in the places and events where history happened. We instill insights and leadership skills to last a lifetime and give students a personal understanding of our country’s founding principles and their responsibilities as citizens.
Founding Forward cares for the history and values of The Union League of Philadelphia, including caring for and sharing the historic collections, producing interpretive exhibits, and presenting speakers programs for thought leadership.
The extensive Civil War-based historic collections of the Union League and related organizations, along with exhibits in the Heritage Center, serve to educate, inspire, and inform our program participants.
