DNC Youth Council Delegate Selection Trainings

One of the goals of the DNC’s Youth Council is to increase the number of young delegates (those under 36) to the Democratic National Convention. To do this, we are setting up short conference call trainings in each state for young people to learn about the process and deadlines. We are happy to announce our next set of calls. All young people interested in becoming a delegate to the National Convention are invited and encouraged to participate in the calls.
