HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA- In 2012, a local nonprofit took an unconventional “rock star” approach to teaching civics, character, financial literacy and social studies in schools. What looked like an impossible feat has grown into a huge success, and this year the foundation accepted  the 2014 FBI Director’s Community Leadership Award from Mr. Richard Schwein, Jr., Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Birmingham Division.

The Liberty Learning team, key donors and local dignitaries were on hand to accept the award on behalf of communities and stakeholders across the state that help this mission move forward. Please join us to tell this empowering story of hope, progress

About the award: Throughout the year, dedicated and selfless individuals and organizations make extraordinary contributions to their communities across the United States. And every year, the FBI honors the very best among them with its Director’s Community Leadership Award. Each FBI field office (56) selects one individual or organization for the award, and each award recipient is publicly recognized at the local level. At a later date, all winners are brought to FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C., to be presented with their award by the FBI Director.
