Our Mission
Building a more just, equitable, and engaged Greater Baton Rouge through youth-led civic action.
The Young Democrats of Greater Baton Rouge is the official youth organization of the Democratic Party serving East Baton Rouge Parish, Iberville Parish, and West Baton Rouge Parish. We are a dynamic coalition of young progressives dedicated to advancing Democratic values and electing candidates who will fight for working families, protect civil rights, and build a sustainable future.
Founded by and for young people ages 18-35, we provide a platform for civic engagement, leadership development, and community organizing. Our members are the future leaders of Louisiana—running for office, managing campaigns, organizing communities, and building coalitions that will shape our state for generations to come.
