01
Just come once
Second Wednesday, 7 PM. Sit at the back, don't say a word, see if you like us. Guests are welcome at every meeting and nobody will put you on a list.
Get involved
You do not have to be able to give a lot. Coming to one meeting is a real contribution, and so is two hours on a Saturday. Pick whichever of these is actually true for you.
Start anywhere
Four honest options
02
Knock some doors
Canvasses and phone banks for the candidates we endorsed. Training happens on the spot — you'll be paired with someone who's done it before.
03
Use what you're good at
Photo, video, design, spreadsheets, writing, or just knowing a lot of people. Our media and outreach work is run by members, not contractors.
04
Bring your people
The single most useful thing anyone does for this club. A club of thirty is a different organism than a club of twelve.
Between now and November
Where the help is going
Eight of our nine endorsed candidates are on the November ballot. These are the races where our members' time makes the most difference.
Top priority
Katrina Foley · Supervisor, District 5
Decided by a narrow margin in the primary and headed to a November runoff. This is the closest race on our map and the one we're organizing hardest around.
Also on the ballot
Levin · Min · Kluwe · Galvez
Congressional and Assembly races across our footprint, several of which we expect to pair into joint days of action with the campaigns and with neighboring clubs.
Dates go on the calendar as soon as they're confirmed — and if you subscribe, they'll appear on your phone without you doing anything.
Beyond volunteering
If you want this to be your job
Campaign jobs & internships
We share volunteer, internship and paid campaign openings with our members — for any Democratic candidate, whether or not we endorsed in that race. Several of our own board members got their start exactly this way, and the number of openings climbs every week as November gets closer.
Coming this fall
Student Fellowship
Our treasurer is building a structured fellowship for high school and community college students — real training, real placements, launching in September to line up with the school year. Details are still being finalized; join the club and you'll hear about it first.
You are not limited to us
The clubs around us
We are one small piece of a much larger network in Orange County, and we'd genuinely rather you were active somewhere than nowhere. Their events are on our calendar too.
Canyon Democrats
A large, well-run club covering the canyon communities. Excellent monthly general meetings with guest speakers.
Orange County Young Democrats
The countywide Young Dems chapter. Staffer socials, countywide endorsements, and a direct line into party structures.
Democratic Women of South OC
A close partner on outreach and voter registration, including joint work in the Latino community ahead of November.
Democratic Party of Orange County
The county party. Where the coordinated campaign, the data, and most of the countywide infrastructure lives.
California Young Democrats
Our state affiliate. Runs the State Leadership Summit and the statewide endorsement process.
Somewhere we've missed?
If your club or campaign has events that South OC young people should know about, send them to us and we'll put them on the calendar.
Ready when you are
Join and you'll get the calendar, the agenda before each meeting, and a heads-up when something needs bodies.
