Deadline: 31 May 2025
The Young Voices is pleased to invite applications for its Contributor Program to support exclusive network of rising libertarian and conservative leaders who bring their talents to media as they help shape a better, more flourishing future.
The Contributor Program is the gateway for writers interested in public policy to enter a world of opportunity with Young Voices. The program is open to young professionals ages 18 to 35 living in the United States and other English-speaking countries who are passionate about limited-government solutions to today’s pressing issues.
Young Voices is a big-tent organization, welcoming individuals regardless of their political affiliation. Their talent roster includes writers who identify as libertarian, conservative, new liberal, and more. What unites their participants is a professional interest in public policy and a passion for freedom.
Program Specifications
- Once accepted into the program, participants gain access to a team of public relations professionals who place op-eds, secure broadcast interviews, and connect them with fellowship and job opportunities. After an initial four-month commitment, graduates can continue producing media outputs as permanent members of our talent roster and apply for paid mentorship and fellowship opportunities. Additionally, members of the Young Voices network enjoy exclusive virtual policy briefings and off-the-record networking events in DC, New York, and beyond during and after their participation in their programs.
- After six months in the Contributor Program, participants who have seen value in advancing their careers can apply to be on their Talent roster through the Advanced Tracks, which include:
- Continued editorial support, contact sharing, and pitching guidance to build media relationships.
- Continued pitching for TV, radio, podcast, and other broadcast appearances, with regular feedback to improve communication.
- Regular paid six-month fellowships focusing on specific policy areas. Fellows learn from think tank experts and produce focused op-eds and reported stories.
Eligibility Criteria
- While the United States is Young Voices’ main focus, they do allow applicants from other Anglosphere countries for their Contributor Program (i.e. Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom).
