Young Republicans are people between the ages of 18 and 40 who are interested in taking an active role in Republican 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 Republicans take part in GOP activities in their communities, doing everything from voter registration drives to phone bank operations to being campaign managers to running for public office themselves. They provide crucial support to the Republican party and work to ensure the future of the party in their communities and nationwide.

A Young Republican ("YR") 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; perpetuate the two-party system on which our political system is built; andbecome better informed and more involved citizens.

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

YR's provides a unique opportunity for an interested young Republican to meet with the decision makers in society and to meet like-minded individuals in their own community and across the nation.

The purpose of the organization shall be: to provide young people an opportunity to participate in the advancement of the ideas and principles of the Republican Party by allowing political expression and recognition; to encourage young people to become workers in Republican campaigns; to foster Young Republicans for candidacy to public office; and to offer training in campaign skills to young people.
