KAP 2025-2026 - Development Manager - Young Voices
The Koch Associate Program (KAP) is a career accelerator for early to mid-career professionals with a drive to tackle our country’s most pressing
challenges
in more effective, principled ways. KAP equips associates with the tools, mindsets, and community to succeed as social entrepreneurs—individuals excited to find new and better ways to break barriers and eliminate injustice. Associates spend one day each week engaging in experiential learning with Stand Together Fellowships and work at one of our many partner organizations the rest of the week. Our curriculum is designed to supercharge your development and equip you for long-term success as you seek to have an impact on the problems that prevent people from realizing their potential.
About the Organization
Young Voices’ mission is to cultivate the next generation of thought leaders for liberty in policy, journalism, and academia. Founded in 2013, Young Voices serves as a copy editor, agent, and mentor to a roster of 100+ pro-liberty communicators through our cornerstone Contributor Program every year. Young Voices achieves a level of media output that surpasses organizations several times our size, placing 150+ media hits per month in print, radio, and TV. Our writers (whom we call “contributors”) make the principled case for liberty in mainstream and evolving media to millions of persuadable readers. Young Voices is also the host organization for the Dissident Project, a speakers bureau for U.S. immigrants who escaped tyranny to tell their stories before high school classrooms across the country. This past school year, Dissident held 50+ talks before 10,000+ students.
