- What is the Stand Together Community doing in the realm of Post-Secondary Education? min [4:04]
A culture of education that unleashes human flourishing must:
(1) Help people discover who they are as unique individuals—what are their strengths, weaknesses, gifting, and aptitudes
(2) Encourage people to develop skills and gain knowledge unique to them as individuals
(3) Allow individuals to apply the skills in a way that contributes to others around them in order to progress toward Self-Actualization
- The STC long-term vision is to create a culture around education where individuals have a dynamic landscape of educational opportunities and a way to create an individualized pathway to learning that is suited and customized to each unique individual. min [7:45]

What is Top Priority | Ideas for Human Flourishing?
We have a deep belief in people and promote ideas of human flourishing.
Top Priority is a collection of interactive, learning-oriented conversations on how the Stand Together Community engages with and advocates for solutions through the lens of our Community Vision: We transform society by breaking the internal and external barriers that prevent people from realizing their potential, enabling all people to improve their lives and find fulfillment by helping others do the same.
The Stand Together Community Vision is guided by four, mutually reinforcing principles: Equal Rights | Mutual Benefit | Openness | Self-Actualization
Explore the free and civil society through the lens of each of these four mutually reinforcing principles and stand together to help every person rise.
Top Priority is a production of the Americans for Prosperity Foundation's Grassroots Leadership Academy, where we make Human Flourishing a top priority.
