Dissident Project

New team member alert‼️

We’re excited to welcome Alexander Norton III, our new Program Manager for the Dissident Project! 🎉

Born in Japan and raised in Las Vegas, Alexander’s background gives him a unique window into how people across the world experience freedom — and the challenges they face when it’s threatened. 🌏

From growing up in a military family to now working in New York City, he brings a highly experienced, mission‑driven perspective to our work.

Alexander leads Dissident Project events across the country, connecting students with speakers who’ve lived under authoritarian regimes.

Before joining Young Voices, he worked at National Review Institute and Leadership Institute, gaining invaluable experience in civic education and mission‑driven nonprofit work. 🏛️

Alexander is committed to elevating the stories of those who’ve lived under authoritarian regimes, saying, “I believe these firsthand accounts are essential to helping the next generation understand what’s at stake.” 🇺🇸
