Presented by FedEx and Ford Philanthropy, this year’s hybrid event is open to school groups nationally as an opportunity for educators and students in 5th-12th grade to be inspired by the purpose-driven lives of Freedom Award honorees. The Student Forum is held October 16, 2025, at the Mississippi Boulevard Christian Church, 10:00 a.m. Central.

The  Freedom Award Student Forum will feature its distinguished Freedom Award honorees. The Museum extends the invitation classrooms virtually to engage, via a moderated YouTube chat room, with up to 2,500 in-person students and educators. Teachers and youth group leaders who plan to have their students experience the Student Forum must register by September 26.
