Kansas City Young Democrats
The Kansas City Young Democrats serve as the voice of the Democratic Party for young professionals, college students, and high school students in Johnson and Wyandotte Counties. We have our regular meetings on the third Monday of the month at 7:00 P.M., generally alternating between Wyandotte and Johnson Counties, and participate in other activities with the senior parties during the month. We also have more purely social events for Young Democrats, usually about once a month, but there is no set schedule. To join the KCYD e-mail list to let you know about our activities, contact KCYD President Shane Gagnebin.
