About the Organization

Young Voices’ mission is to cultivate the next generation of thought leaders for liberty in policy, journalism, and academia.

Our writers (whom we call “contributors”) make the principled case for liberty in mainstream and evolving media to millions of persuadable readers.

This past school year, Dissident held 50+ talks before 10,000+ students. [Read more…]

Civil Rights Litigator – Center for American Liberty – Virtual

About the Center for American Liberty
Center for American Liberty (CAL) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to defending the free speech rights and civil liberties of Americans left behind by other civil rights organizations. The Constitution guarantees individual liberties, but we’ve observed that there is a coordinated assault on our civil liberties from corporations, politicians, socialist revolutionaries, and inept or biased government officials.

Founded in 2018 by Harmeet Dhillon, CAL is leading the fight against this assault on liberty by holding the assailants accountable through the courts. Having won 3 religious liberty cases at the U.S. Supreme Court in 2021 on behalf of faithful Californians challenging Governor Newsom’s various COVID restrictions, CAL is now litigating a wide array of cases, including cases against Rose City Antifa, the State of Colorado, the State of Vermont, and various elected officials across the country.

Project Manager for Higher Education – Defending Education – Virtual

About Defending Education:
Defending Education is a national grassroots organization working to reclaim our schools from activists imposing harmful agendas. Through network and coalition building, investigative reporting, litigation, and engagement on local, state, and national policies, we are fighting indoctrination in the classroom — and promoting the restoration of a healthy, non-political education for our kids.

DE receives tips from around the country, investigating leads and filing Freedom of Information Act requests to connect the dots; files complaints with the Department of Education; and, when necessary, files lawsuits to hold schools accountable for violating students’ civil rights.

About the Project Manager for Higher Education Opening
Defending Education is seeking a Project Manager for Higher Education to coordinate outreach aimed at spreading DE’s mission at the university level. This role requires a self-starter with higher education experience who can engage parents, trustees, and other key stakeholders in support of the higher education initiative’s success. [Read more…]

As a result, Mississippi is on the rise—attracting investment and experiencing remarkable growth. To fuel this momentum, we’re seeking a dynamic Chief Development Officer to lead our fundraising efforts and secure the resources needed to amplify our impact.

Media Manager – Pacific Legal Foundation – Virtual

You: A skilled communicator with prior experience in media relations and a proven track record of developing relationships with media professionals. You live and breathe the news of the day, and you know what makes the media tick. You constantly dream up new and creative ways to capture a journalist’s attention during a chaotic news cycle. You have a deep appreciation and passion for individual liberty.

Them: Bureaucrats, city councils, mayors, governors, and federal agencies stripping Americans of their rights every day. There’s a lot of government overreach out there, and it’s backed by seemingly endless resources. But fortunately, like all lumbering giants, abusive government is most vulnerable when countered by individuals who act strategically and nimbly; take calculated risks; have each other’s backs; and are confident in, and passionate for, the cause—the very sort of swashbucklers we employ in spades here at PLF.

Wait, You’re a Nonprofit?

Talent Market is a nonprofit. We’ll wait here while that sinks in. We know it’s a crazy concept, but it’s been working like a charm since 2009.

Talent Market’s mission is to promote liberty by providing talent for critical roles within the free-market nonprofit sector.

We provide consulting and recruiting services at no cost to 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations that clearly and directly focus on advancing the principles of economic freedom, free enterprise, free trade, free speech, property rights, rule of law, and limited regulation. (We do not work with political organizations, organizations with mission statements that do not clearly advance free-market principles, organizations that focus on social issues, or organizations that have a focus outside of the United States. We are not a job board. ) 

Talent Market believes that the road to prosperity is paved with freedom and that the success of our movement hinges on the talent that will take us there.
