The Liberty Learning Foundation provides civic-engagement programs, Hands on Liberty and Super Citizen, to help schools teach crucial lessons in civics, character, financial literacy and social studies despite school budget cuts. We strive to change the lives of individual students by empowering them to become informed independent thinkers who are motivated to improve their communities.

Education Outreach
The money was used to pay all transportation costs for the students. The demonstrators were all paid. The staff and volunteers were paid gas costs to and from the site. There were food and drink costs, expenses for preparation for the event and port-o-lets. There were demonstrators who performed activities that were common to Pioneer life in rural southwest Alabama. There were blacksmith’s, people making cane syrup with the help of a mule, candle makers, a potter making pottery and a working gristmill. The activities took place at Rikard’s Mill Historical Park, Beatrice, Alabama.
Economic Feasibility Project with Monroe County EDA
This project was created to reduce costs associated with marketing and promotional materials by eliminating the need to retain professional photographers and graphic designers for services. This project will also allow the MMCEDA to provide photography and design support to other entities working to promote Monroe County.
4-H Educational Programs
The Monroe County 4-H is seeking to enhance the 4-H experience for the youth of our county. It is our mission to provide hands-on experiences and learning as an educational method that directly involves the learner, by actively encouraging them to do something in order to learn about it. In short, “learning by doing”. In order to provide the students of our county with the best possible education, we are seeking funding to provide the program materials necessary.
Community Enhancement
This project was to increase the quality of life for the residents of Monroe County, Alabama and its surrounding areas by providing reliable broadband services to the Monroe County Public Library, the Monroeville/Monroe County Community Development Corporation (MMCCDC), and the Monroeville/Monroe County Economic Development Authority.
