Who it's for

Young Voices is built for rising voices who want to shape public debate around liberty:

  • Writers, creators, and commentators aged 18–35.
  • People aligned with a classical-liberal outlook.
  • Aspiring journalists and policy professionals based in North America and Europe.
  • Anyone from a first-time public writer to someone ready to take an existing media career further.

What they offer

The organization helps members get where they want to be through three core forms of support:

Media placements
Getting members' articles and interviews into noted outlets, and building their audience across platforms.
Policy fellowships
Structured opportunities for young professionals working in public-policy fields.
Mentorships
Guidance from working journalists and policy writers to develop real-world skills faster.

The Contributor Program

Your voice, amplified

The Contributor Program is a media-consulting opportunity for classical-liberal writers, creators, and commentators. Members work one-on-one with the media team to pitch op-eds, secure broadcast appearances, and build a public platform around the ideas they care about.

The program meets people where they are — whether they're just starting to write for a wider audience or looking to take a media career to the next level.

Program benefits

  • One-on-one media placement support
  • Op-ed and pitch editing
  • TV and podcast booking opportunities
  • Access to the Young Voices talent network
  • Mentorship from working journalists and policy writers

How to join

  • Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.
  • There is no cost to join and no obligation beyond a genuine interest in advancing the conversation around liberty.
  • An application takes about 10 minutes to complete.
