About Young Voices

Young Voices identifies, develops, and promotes the next generation of pro-liberty communicators in policy, journalism, and academia. Founded in 2013, we operate a talent pipeline that takes early-career writers and turns them into nationally recognized voices.

In 2025, Young Voices secured over 2,100 media placements across outlets, including The Wall Street Journal, BBC, Fox News, and Politico, reaching an audience of more than 150 million.

Our programs include the Contributor Program, which develops emerging media talent, the Dissident Project, which brings firsthand accounts of life under authoritarian regimes into U.S. classrooms, and a growing set of initiatives designed to shape the national conversation around freedom.

 

About the Role

Young Voices is seeking an Editor to lead the development, coaching, and placement of contributor content across two core lanes: traditional op-eds and emerging narrative-driven journalism.

This is a high-impact editorial role responsible for helping contributors succeed not only as opinion writers but as story-driven communicators capable of turning policy ideas into compelling, human-centered narratives that resonate with broad audiences.

The ideal candidate is an experienced editor or journalist who has worked across both opinion and reported or narrative formats, and who is excited about the opportunity to help build a new generation of liberty communicators capable of shaping public debate through both argument and story.

The Editor reports to the Director of Programs and works closely with the broader Programs and Communications teams. This is a full-time, in-person position based in New York, NY, or Washington, DC, with flexibility for 2 days of remote work per week. Some travel (up to~15%) may be required.
