Casey Given is the Executive Director of Young Voices, a nonprofit that develops thought leaders for liberty in the digital age. He leads the organization’s strategy, fundraising, and growth, helping a new generation of writers, commentators, entrepreneurs, and policy experts shape public debate.
Casey joined Young Voices in 2014 when it was a small project of Students For Liberty and helped guide its transition into an independent nonprofit in 2016. Since then, he has overseen its growth into one of the leading talent-development organizations in the liberty movement, supporting hundreds of emerging voices whose work has appeared in outlets ranging from the Wall Street Journal and USA Today to the BBC and Fox News.
A communications strategist by training, Casey believes the future of the freedom movement will be shaped less by white papers and policy seminars than by the people who can translate ideas into stories that resonate with the public. Under his leadership, Young Voices has pioneered a digital-first approach to talent development, helping young communicators build careers and influence culture at a time when trust in traditional institutions is rapidly eroding.
Before joining Young Voices, Casey served as Director of Communications at Students For Liberty and as a state policy analyst at Americans for Prosperity Foundation. He holds a Master of Public Policy from George Washington University and a B.A. in Rhetoric from University of California, Berkeley.
He writes and speaks frequently on free speech, civil society, media, and the future of liberalism in the twenty-first century.
