Submit Applications for Young Voices’ Contributor Program

Upon acceptance into the program, each new contributor has access to Young Voices’ staff of editors and media experts. They’ll act as your nonprofit PR agency, editing and pitching your articles to top publications and scheduling interviews in broadcast media.

What are the expectations of the Contributor Program?

• Once accepted, a contributor participates in their program for a six-month period (either January to June or July to December). During that time, all contributors are expected to attend 3 onboarding trainings on Zoom and submit one article draft per month to Young Voices’ editorial team.

Eligibility Criteria

• Young Voices accepts applications from writers ages 18-35.
• Applicants should be prepared to submit their résumé, an unedited op-ed draft, and a two-minute introductory video explaining why they’d like to join Young Voices. Applications are reviewed twice per year for classes of 30-40.
• Applicants from anywhere in the world is welcome to apply to the Contributor Program. However, it is important to note that Young Voices is a US and UK-based operation with limited activities in other countries, so the strongest media partners are outlets in those countries. Thus, a non-American/British applicant should have a strong interest in writing about policy areas and getting published in the US or UK.
