Nassau County Young Democrats

Building the Next Generation of Democratic Leadership in Nassau County

About NCYD

Nassau County Young Democrats is dedicated to empowering young people to create a positive impact on their communities through a combination of political engagement and charitable work. We believe that both are critical components of creating lasting change. On the political front, we work to promote progressive policies and endorse Democratic candidates who share our values. We recognize the power of the political process to shape our communities and advocate for issues that directly affect young people, such as climate change, income inequality, and social justice. We engage in voter registration drives, canvassing, and phone banking to encourage more young people to participate in the political process and make their voices heard.

In addition to our political work, we also prioritize charitable efforts to support our community. We volunteer regularly with organizations such as the Scott J. Beigel Memorial Fund, which provides support and opportunities for young people in our community. We also hold fundraisers to support causes that align with our values and work to make a positive impact on the lives of those around us.

Through a combination of political engagement and charitable work, we believe that we can create a more just and equitable society. Our organization is committed to using our collective voice to drive meaningful change and ensure that young people are empowered to make a difference in their communities.
