Young Voices 2025 Wrapped

Supporters and friends,

2025 has been another record-breaking year at Young Voices! We've placed 2,234 media hits promoting free markets and individual liberty, reaching an estimated audience of over 200 million.

Big numbers don't tell the whole story, however. Every single media hit is pushing the careers of rising thought leaders for liberty forward. Below are 10 standout media moments that capture the breadth, reach, and impact of Young Voices' contributors this year.
