About Young Americans For Liberty
Founded after 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 drive real change in America by working through our
"Build - Elect - Pass"
model:
Build We are building the largest nationwide movement of committed youth activists on American college campuses, with pro‑liberty students fighting on hundreds of campuses across the country.
Elect We 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, and thousands of YAL‑recruited students have knocked on over 6 million doors to turn out the vote.
Pass Use this coalition of principled liberty legislators to pass transformative policy at the state level. This coalition has already passed over 1,000 pro‑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

Mission & Vision
Our mission is to identify, educate, train, and mobilize youth activists committed to the ideals of liberty and the Constitution. Our vision is to create Liberty Lighthouse States that will Transform Our States into Beacons of Liberty. YAL also works to achieve this vision by electing liberty legislators and passing liberty legislation.
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 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.
YAL students and activists are fighting every day to make liberty win. This role makes sure their stories get told.
YAL wins because students take action, organizers lead, and policy fights happen on campuses and in states across the country.
But if those stories never make it out of the field, their impact stops there.
