Founded from the 2008 Ron Paul Presidential Campaign, Young Americans for Liberty (YAL) is the nation’s largest pro-liberty youth movement, building a powerful network of activists to transform states into beacons of freedom.

We utilize a 3 step "Build - Elect - Pass" model is driving real change in America's political system:

1. Build: We are building the largest nationwide movement of committed youth activists on American college campuses. We have chapters established on over 500 campuses and with over 327,000 students on campus.
2. Elect: Mobilize our base of committed youth activists to be the grassroots muscle on campaigns of principled liberty legislators through Operation Win at the Door. Since 2018, we've built a coalition of 400 active legislators in our National Liberty Legislator Coalition.
3. Pass: Use this coalition of principled liberty legislators to pass transformative policy at the state level. This coalition has already passed over 750 liberty bills spanning from Universal School Choice, to Constitutional Carry, to major tax cuts and so much more. You can view the full list of bills passed at YALiberty.org/Liberty-Bills.

Vision

Our vision is to create Liberty Lighthouse States that will Transform Our States into Beacons of Liberty.

To do this, we've set an ambitious goal to raise $150 million over the next five years to make this possible.

We are building a highly skilled Development and Marketing team to achieve this goal – who have already raised $63 million in pursuit of this vision.

We are willing to pay above-market rates for a person with experience, a strong cultural fit, and an unwavering belief in the principles of liberty.

YAL has a confidential detailed plan to achieve our vision of Liberty Lighthouse States as well a detailed plan to raise $150 million by 2030 and how this role will be instrumental to achieving that plan.

Our Values & Culture

YAL's culture is built on 5 foundational values:

1. Goal Setting: We orient our work towards specific goals that align with achieving our long-term vision.
2. Trust the Truth: We pursue the truth and are honest in all we do, even when it’s difficult. There should never be a situation where lying is the right answer if we’re truthful from the beginning.
3. Grassroots Mobilization: We win on principle by generating grassroots pressure on the politicians. Unless you are politically feared, you will not be politically respected. Education alone is not enough.
4. Principle: We believe in liberty — which provides the freedom to choose and requires taking responsibility for your choices — and individual rights — which must be respected at all times.
5. Power of the Individual: We recognize everyone has an innate ability to make a difference. Therefore, we are dedicated to aligning your goals and developing your strengths so you can unlock your full potential.

Candidates who will fit in with YAL's culture tend to be principled, entrepreneurial, passionate, and comfortable with ambitious goals and a fast-paced work environment.

The Development Associate Program

The Development Associate Program is focused on developing and training junior talent to be a fundraising professional in the political industry.

Applicants are not expected to have priority experience in fundraising, but rather have experience in the liberty movement, have a passion for the ideas of liberty, and an eagerness to grow.

This is a fully remote, part-time, temporary position with the goal of giving you the skills and experience you need to kick off your fundraising career. 

The Opportunity Ahead of You

Political fundraising is a very unique mix of art and science that very few people have mastered, but for those who do there is great career opportunity.  This program was created to fill YAL’s full time fundraising roles with up and coming development talent.

The best Associates out of each class will likely be offered full time and well paying positions, and all Associates will receive guidance in acquiring full-time roles somewhere in the movement – although landing those positions is up to you.

So take this opportunity seriously, and it can be the first stepping stone of your career in the liberty movement.

Timeline

This program will run from September 1st - December 31st. All contracts will expire after December 31st.

Training

There will be 1 week of virtual training to kick off the program during the first week of September in which Associates will need to be available. 

After that week of training Associates will have continuous training and mentorship programs in place throughout the mentorship.
