Children of the American Revolution
"Good citizens cannot be made suddenly. They must grow..."

C.A.R. is open to youth under the age of 21 years who are lineally descended from someone who rendered material aid to the cause of American Independence, whether a soldier, sailor, civil officer, or recognized patriot. At age 18, young women are eligible to also join the DAR and hold dual membership for their final three years in C.A.R.
C.A.R., the nation’s oldest and largest patriotic organization, was first proposed in 1895 by Harriett Lothrop, a 19th century children’s author from Concord, Massachusetts and chartered by the U.S. Congress “for the training of young people in true patriotism and love of country.” The members were, are, and will be the leaders of America.
Nebraska C.A.R. chapters are active vibrant groups. Members have organized fundraisers to benefit local museums and charitable organizations, learned about local history, and visited veterans among many other age-appropriate adventures. They've attended state, regional, and national conventions, and served as state officers as well as on the national board. Chapter members have moved on to join the DAR and serve in both the United States Army and Air Force.
