WHY JOIN WCYD?

  • The Wine Country Young Democrats is Sonoma County’s longest-running youth-led Democratic Club and remains a powerful voice within local politics.

    • We believe that to make real progress on the issues we care about starts by mobilizing from the bottom on up.

  • What Fight for the Issues Affecting Our Generation.

  • WCYD Connects You With Activist and Political Resources Across Sonoma County.

    • WCYD is not only a political entity. We are also an organization that believes that community engagement and political activism go together. Our club provides folks with resources that connect them with local elected officials, community activist groups, and volunteer opportunities. Some examples include:

      • Internship and Volunteer Opportunities

      • Opportunities to meet with your local elected officials and their offices

      • Democratic conventions and Functions across Sonoma County and California

      • Opportunities to learn from Change-Makers and Activists in the community fighting for the same issue we believe in.
