About YPN
BUILT ON FAITH.
DRIVEN BY PATRIOTISM.
Young Patriot Network exists to encourage young Americans to become informed, involved, and active in civic and political discussions — while standing unashamedly on Christian and conservative principles.
Our Story
BORN IN TENNESSEE
Young Patriot Network was founded in Tennessee by Josie Dudley and Ashton Trotter — two young believers who saw a generation drifting away from the faith and civic conviction that made this country strong. What started as conversations between friends grew into a network of young Americans who refuse to sit on the sidelines. Our mission is simple: reach the youth of America with the truth, and call them to be informed, involved, and active.
THE FOUNDERS
Josie & AshtonJosie Dudley
Co-Founder
Josie co-founded YPN with a conviction that every young voice matters — at the dinner table, in the church, and at the ballot box.
Ashton Trotter
Co-Founder
Ashton co-founded YPN to turn faith into civic action — helping young Americans stand boldly for what they believe.
Christian Foundation
ROOTED IN THE GOSPEL
YPN is a Christian organization. Our faith is not a decoration — it is the foundation of everything we do and every position we hold. We believe the same truths that shaped this nation still hold: that every human life is sacred, that liberty is a gift from God, and that young people are called to stand for both.
Where We're Headed
GROWING TOWARD NONPROFIT STATUS
Our goal is to become a fully recognized nonprofit organization — building a lasting home for the movement and expanding our reach to young Americans across the country.
