     The Dutchess County Young Democrats is a chapter under the New York State Young Democrats, the official Youth Arm of the New York State Democratic Party.  The Young Democrats, which represents Democrats from ages 18 to 35, currently operates in over 30 counties and counts over 15,000 young democrats statewide.

     Our mission is to incorporate young people into the Democratic Party. The Dutchess County Young Democrats attempts to accomplish this goal through a variety of core activities, such as recruiting new Democrats and registering them to vote, training Young Democrats to be effective campaign volunteers and field workers, leading campaign invasions to help Democrats win close elections, educating young voters on the issues that matter to them and communicating the Democratic message to young voters using the Internet, and reaching out to Young Democrats and giving people ways of getting involved through social events, community service and other civic activities.
