Young Democrats Overview
The Young Democrats is a student-run club sponsored by Mrs. Walker. The club meets every Wednesday to discuss current events, politics, and their roles in the world. The club will be involved in several activities this year. The activities include voter registration drives and fundraising. The club is also active in the community, as they will be doing community service projects this year. Projects include doing activities to benefit the environment like park cleanup.
The president of the club, Teagan Fowler, said, ¨I joined Young Democrats as a freshman… Now I am the president of it. It has given me a space to process [the] news and learn about different viewpoints and given me a place to develop my own sense of what the world is,¨ when asked about her experience with Young Democrats. ¨It’s given me a place to talk about politics and refine my stances on [politics] and hear differing perspectives.¨
