Regional Director

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 three-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.

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.

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. Both documents can be shared with serious candidates in the interview process.

YAL's culture is built on five 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.
