Young Voices

The Dissident Project: The Dissident Project is a speakers bureau founded by Young Voices to educate American high schoolers about the value of liberty through the firsthand stories of people who have lived without it. Since launching in 2022, the Dissident Project has delivered 151 talks to more than 25,000 students nationwide, sharing powerful lessons from immigrants who escaped tyranny for freedom.

Young Voices Europe:Launched in 2022, Young Voices Europe offers article placement services to classical liberal writers living in the European Union. At a time when European political discourse is stuck between the regulatory overreach and speech restrictions of the progressive left and the nationalist and isolationist tendencies of the hard right, Young Voices Europe is introducing the Old World to fresh perspectives promoting consumer choice and individual liberties.

Human Dignity Fellowship:YV aims to amplify the voices of young people pushing back against statism in Europe. Through training and mentorship, YV will showcase young people who are championing freedom in Europe's least free countries. They will write and publish op-eds in the mainstream media in their countries, standing up for property rights, economic freedom, and equality before the law. The result will be a chorus of coordinated but distinct young voices who proclaim the cause of freedom and dignity in the countries where they are most sorely lacking.

Young Voices Debates:Launched in the fall of 2024, Young Voices Debates is a bold experiment to revive civil, high-level discourse on polarizing policy questions. Hosted monthly in New York City and streamed live, the Oxford-style series draws an average of 125 attendees per event in person and has amassed over 100,000 views across X, YouTube, and CiVL. Each debate pairs rising and established voices from across the ideological spectrum to tackle questions that matter, from foreign policy to civil liberties, in a format that rewards clarity over conflict. As an extension of our media training mission, Young Voices Debates gives our contributors and friends a space to sharpen their arguments, test ideas in real time, and model the kind of respectful exchange that's all too rare in today's media landscape.
