At a huge Super Citizen Program kick off event for Auburn City Schools, representatives from Alfa presented a donation that will help Liberty Learning Foundation reach more than 1,000 students in 47 schools!
Alfa Foundation, the charitable arm of Alfa Insurance, donated over $32,000 to bring the program to schools in Barbour, Coffee, Crenshaw, Cullman, Escambia, Etowah, Franklin, Henry, Jefferson, Lauderdale, Lee, Marengo, Marshall, Mobile, Monroe, Talladega and Winston counties.

“Our children are our future, and teaching kids to be well-rounded, responsible and civically engaged is a serious task,” said Jimmy Parnell, Alfa Insurance and Alabama Farmers Federation president.
“Partnering with Liberty Learning to help fund this program in schools across the state is a way to prepare students to become great American citizens. The curriculum involves students in community work and will make an impact on the rest of their lives.”
“We couldn’t bring the program to schools, train the teachers and orchestrate these engaging events free of charge without the partnership we have with generous sponsors like Alfa,” said Yancey.
Since 2010, the “Super Citizen” Program from Liberty Learning Foundation has reached over 81,000 students and honored almost 1,400 local heroes. This year alone, the foundation has its sights set on delivering the program to 50,000 students to cover teacher requests for the program.
“With the help of Alfa, our current sponsors, and the ones who align with our mission but just haven’t been introduced to us yet,” Yancey says, “we are determined to fulfill all requests for this important civic learning experience across Alabama.”
