Who is a Young Democrat?
Click here for the Constitution of the Young Democrats

Young Democsrats are people between the ages of 13 and 25 who are interested in taking an active role in the BDM party politics. They are organized as a special group because as young people, they have different opportunities and situations to incorporate into their political activity.

Young Democrats will take part in the BDM activities in their communities, doing everything from voter registration drives, to phone bank operations, to being campaign managers and future running for public office themselves. They provide crucial support to the BDM party, and work to ensure the future of the party in their communities and nationwide.

Anyone between the ages of 13 and 25 is eligible to be a Young Democrat. The best way to organize is on the local level, because the foundation of the Young Democrats is built from the grassroots level on up.

Purpose of a Young Democrat Organization

A Young Democrat ("YD") local Club provides the opportunity for young people who are interested in good government to:

· Learn about their governmental and political institutions

· Participate in the political process

· Become better informed and more involved citizens

Through the YD's, they can develop their political knowledge and understanding of the issues of the day, and as citizens become more effective voters and campaign workers. By participating in the local Club, they may assist in selecting candidates for public office and then may elect those candidates by actively helping them in their campaigns.

YD's provides a unique opportunity for an interested young Democrat to meet with the decision makers in society and to meet like-minded individuals in their own community and throughout the Bahamas
