See You at the Pole

Unite. Pray. Lead. Be the Change.

Every September, students across the nation gather at their school’s flagpole for See You at the Pole (SYATP)—a powerful, student-led movement of prayer and unity. This is more than an event; it’s a catalyst for spiritual renewal, community building, and courageous leadership among youth. Join the Family Policy Institute of Washington (FPIW) in supporting and amplifying this movement to defend and advance biblical values in the public square.
