Young Voices Contributor Program 2026 – YOA

Deadline: November 30, 2025

Applications are open for the Young Voices Contributor Program 2026. The cornerstone of Young Voices’ choices, the Contributor Program gives media coaching and placement providers to college students and younger professionals excited by public coverage.

Once accepted, a contributor participates in this system for a 4-month interval (both January to May or July to October). During that point, all contributors are anticipated to attend 3 onboarding trainings on Zoom and submit one article draft per thirty days to Young Voices’ editorial crew at the least.

Benefits

• Contributors will not be paid for the articles they undergo us as a requirement of remaining in this system. Our biggest compensation to our writers is the free mentorship and public relations providers we offer to advance their profession. That mentioned, Young Voices does supply unique alternatives for alumni via our Advanced Tracks which contain some type of financial compensation, usually.

Eligibility

Writers primarily based in Europe are welcome to apply for the European Fellowship.
• Young Voices welcomes functions from writers ages 18 to 35 from all ranges of expertise.
• It will not be a requirement for an applicant to have been revealed to apply. That mentioned, one requirement of the application course of is that an applicant submit an unpublished op-ed draft (500-800 phrases).
