Young Democrats of Washington
2008 Convention
March 28-30; Vancouver, WA
About the Young Democrats
The Young Democrats of Washington is a political group with only
two membership requirements—that you be under 36 years old and
declare yourself to be a Democrat. The Young Democrats of Washington
is focused on a few key objectives: issues and policy, community and
public service, campaign work, training activists, and involvement
in all levels of the Democratic party. We are committed to promoting
Democratic Values and ensuring Young Voters have a voice and access
to the political process.
The mission of the Young Democrats of Washington is to stimulate
in young people an active interest in governmental affairs and
promote their involvement in the political process, to promote the
acquisition of political power by young people, and to foster and
perpetuate the ideals and principles of the highest degrees of
justice and social welfare.
The Young Democrats of Washington is an ever evolving organization that relies on the input of our membership to guide its activities.
This past year YDWA hosted our 3rd Annual Lobby Day to talk to
our Representatives about the issues that we care about and
participated in the Democratic process as volunteers and through the
caucus process. Going into next year we are excited to be a
part of the 2008 Elections Cycle!
More on YDWA can be found at the Young Democrats of Washington Website, www.ydwa.org.
