The rapid growth of Turning Point USA across Alaska will take another step on Nov. 21 when the first teen chapter launches in the Mat-Su.

Club America, the teen version of Turning Point, will hold its first Mat-Su meeting at 6:30 p.m. in the Mat-Su Central School (2055 N. Stringfield Road). The meeting is open to high school and middle school students from across the Valley.

A flyer for the meeting describes the group as a “youth movement for freedom-loving American values.”

Turning Point USA is a nationwide organization that advocates for conservative politics, traditional values and Christian faith on high school, college, and university campuses. It was founded in 2012 by Charlie Kirk, who was fatally shot on Sept. 10 during a college speaking event in Utah.

The Mat-Su teen club joins a growing number of Turning Point chapters throughout Alaska. Other groups have formed in Fairbanks, Anchorage, Chugiak, Sitka and Eagle River. At least one other is in the works for the Kenai Peninsula.
