As part of its celebration of [[President Reagan]]'s "A Time For Choosing" speech in 2014, Young America's Foundation set a goal to double the number of its student programs. Also in 2014 the Foundation relocated its national headquarters to Reston, Virginia after more than 25 years in Herndon, Virginia. Its new HQ features ample space to host student programs year-round and allowed the Foundation to expand outreach and programming with more staff and production space.

In 2015 Young America's Foundation partnered with the [[Foundation for Economic Education]] to publish "Excuse Me, Professor: Challenging the Myths of Progressism." This latest publication debunks more than 50 liberal cliches in a way that is concise and easy for students to understand.

Despite being generally committed to the defense of conservative values, YAF has occasionally acted like establishmentarians. In June 2018, Young America's Foundation conspired to exclude Turning Point USA, an influential conservative non-profit founded by activist [[Charlie Kirk]] with connections to the Trump administration, from the conservative movement.<ref>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2018/06/pathetic-young-americas-foundation-warns-young-conservatives-to-be-wary-of-charlie-kirk-and-tpusa/</ref> In November 2019, two YAF executives signalled people not to be interviewed by libertarian activist and co-owner of [[Liberty Hangout]] [[Kaitlin Bennett]], and when Bennett confronted them, they ran away from her, calling security who blocked her out of the building.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8Ho8FuADn4</ref>
