Queens County Young Democrats

The Queens County Young Democrats (QCYD) is a progressive organization of Democrats between the ages of 16 and 36, dedicated to advancing the highest principles of the Democratic Party and inspiring the participation of all people in politics, public policy and service. As the officially recognized youth arm of the Queens Democratic Party, QCYD is especially focused on inspiring, educating and involving young people who want to make a difference.

The Queens County Young Democrats is committed to:

democratic procedures – (note the small “d”) Our organizational governance is based on democratic procedures that include, a fairly elected executive board, the principle of majority rule and the encouragement of free expression and full participation.

(Public) Service – Service is at the heart of why we are involved with politics – the desire to leave to the next generation a community and country that is safer and more prosperous. Whether we are helping clean up our local neighborhood, raising money for a nonprofit organization that helps women deal with breast or ovarian cancer, or helping a school that teaches children living with autism, our service goes beyond our involvement in politics.
