Welcome to our new website!
What happens when young people vote? Democrats Win!
Young people are the base of the Democratic Party! The Florida Young Democrats are working to unite young people and get them out to vote in 2008, and beyond! The Florida Young Democrats are organizing around the state to get young people involved and then to use peer to peer outreach to get young people out to the polls!
The Florida Young Democrats, as a part of the Young Democrats of America, has county chapters across the state, check this link to find your local chapter. If there is not a local chapter in your community, let’s start one! Email our Executive Director Lori Poole.
We are only as strong as our members. We are a volunteer organization committed to helping young people become active citizens. Interested in getting involved? Sign up, you might be the person who helps tips the scales so that Florida, and the country, turn Blue!
Whether you a part of an established chapter or wish to develop a new chapter, here are some guidelines to help create a successful local organization:
Be Local: Invite locally elected Democrats for discussions on current issues;
Be Connected: Help members develop connections with local Democratic leaders, either elected or in your DEC;
Be Social: Keep meetings lively and informal so that your members will enjoy this time w/ their political peers;
Be Rewarding: Allow members to sharpen their political skills by presenting or debating a topic.
This site is set up to provide information about FYD, what we do, and how you can participate. Check back frequently for updates. On behalf of the FYD Executive Committee, we hope that it is helpful and that you come out to support Democratic ideals! See you on the campaign trail!
