The FMYCP promotes Civic Engagement, Participation & Civic Focused Education by developing programs advocating volunteerism, active citizenship and participatory politics. When individual and collective actions identify and address issues of public concern the democratic processes work for a better future.
The Foundation advocates policies, programs and actions which educate and safeguard the long-standing American values based on the country's founding documents as stated in the Declaration of Independence, The Constitutions of the United Sates and the US Bill of Rights as they were amended following American society's evolution.
The FMYCP provide professional and subject matter support to legislators, policy makers and all areas of the policy making and legislative bodies the areas relating to its purpose. The FMYCP does not back, campaign for, support, or endorse political candidates, nor does it partake in electoral or campaign politics.
Civic engagement can take many forms—from individual volunteerism to organizational involvement to electoral participation. It can include efforts to directly address an issue, work with others in a community to solve a problem or interact with the institutions of representative democracy.[2] It is the sense of personal responsibility individuals feel to uphold their obligations, as part of any community. "Youth civic engagement" has identical aims, only with consideration for youth voice.
