Engaged & Ready
to Organize.
We know that the future of the Democratic party lies within the young people of America. In the 2020 election Duval county turned blue for the first time ever and we know the young people of Jacksonville are to thank for that. Jacksonville Young Democrats (JYD) is dedicated to providing the network, training, and tools necessary for young adults to serve as leaders in Jacksonville politics as well as ensuring voter education and turnout.

BUSINESS MEETINGS
We have monthly meetings where we invite speakers, community leaders, and organizations to talk about the issues and share how to get involved. Keep an eye out on our social media pages where we will post about these meetings.
ORGANIZING
During Election years, we participate in volunteering events including knocking on doors, making phone calls to voters, and digital organizing like text-banking or online events. In years where there aren’t elections, we focus on community events and causes.
SOCIALS
We like to have fun! We always encourage members to go out for drinks, grab coffee, or meet up at events. JYD isn't just an organization, it's a family.
