YDA is excited to announce our Summer Training for YDA members and allied youth groups. To register today, visit www.yda.org.

In order to prepare for the upcoming election cycle, we will train over 100 young people in two areas of focus:
* Chapter Building
* Alliance Peer-to-Peer Field Campaigns

We have proven in the last two election cycles that focusing on these two areas helps increase the youth vote for Democrats and keeps young people involved in the Democratic Party for the long haul.

At the Summer Training we will bring in national leaders to train 100 Young Democrats. You should be one of them!

During YDA’s training, the DNC will also hold their quarterly meeting. While there is no time during the training schedule on Friday and Saturday to attend the DNC meetings, if you would like to attend the DNC meetings, we encourage you to come in a day early to attend some DNC meetings on Thursday.
