About Young Americans For Liberty
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 :
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. 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. 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 :
Goal Setting : We orient our work towards specific goals that align with achieving our long-term vision. 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. 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. 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. 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.
Are you the next Samuel Adams?
At Young Americans for Liberty (YAL) , we believe that educating young people on the ideas of freedom is essential to saving this country but education alone isn't enough. To truly make liberty win, we must mobilize, building what Samuel Adams once called :
An irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.
YAL's next Director of Mobilization will lead the charge on our world-class door-knocking program , Operation Win at the Door (OWD) . Since 2018, OWD has :
Deployed 4,000+ YAL-trained students on campaigns across the countryHelped win 500+ elections for liberty candidatesContributed to the passage of 1,000+ pro-liberty bills Stopped hundreds of bad bills that would have expanded government
Every year, this program grows in size and impact. We're gearing up for a monumental 2026 , when we plan to mobilize students who will knock on over 3 million doors nationwide.
