Progress in Rock County!
In 2024, Rock County First took Ms. Yeonmi Park’s advice to “act now to preserve our freedom and liberty” and put it into action, locally. As per our vision, RCF focused all its efforts locally as we believe it has the greatest and fastest impact on our citizens and local businesses. As the only formal and funded non-profit, common-sense principled organization in Rock County, RCF provided the much needed community leadership while delivering meaningful results which we believe would not have happened without RCF. We are very proud of our accomplishments and the many citizens, volunteers and donors who have made a positive impact in our community in 2024. Now it is time to accelerate the rate of change in 2025!

YDF Grant Encourages Greater Civic Engagement by Local Youth
On April 7th, the RCF Youth Development Fund awarded a grant to the Milton High School civics class. The grant assisted with the cost of transporting high school students to the WI State Capitol where they were able to learn more about their Capitol and state government; as well as, hear directly from state legislators explain the importance of civic engagement.
In the grant approval letter, the RCF board included the following:
"The objective of the RCF Youth Development Fund is to encourage and help facilitate Rock County students to actively engage in American citizenship by focusing on local civics. We achieve this objective by working and collaborating with student councils and/or Social Studies/Government education classes in K-12 schools across Rock County; along with local business leaders and local elected officials."
