Our Mission

Advancing youth voice in political conversations.

The Democratic Youth Coalition represents an inclusive national grassroots movement of young activists participating in civic engagement programs that support progressive campaigns and causes. Programs include youth-led town halls, outreach and issue based campaigns, and coalition-building partnerships that empower youth to get involved in democracy. The youth vote is extremely important, not only for presidential elections, but for all future elections, and our work will ensure that the United States continues to receive strong youth and student engagement.

Previously Known as Youth for Joe Biden

Founded in June of 2020, the Youth for Joe Biden campaign was established in order to foster youth civic engagement and provide a platform for youth to voice their opinions. This campaign created preferendums directed at youth to relay information back to the Joe Biden campaign, established a prominent social media presence, and interviewed candidates running for office in 2021. Following the democratic presidential victory in 2020, this campaign rebranded our platform to be able to continue to serve American youth. As the Democratic Youth Coalition, this campaign will be continuing to advance youth voices in national political conversations.
