PDM National Youth Branch (Young Democrats)

Introduction:
Founded in 2012, the PDM National Youth Branch, also known as the Young Democrats, has emerged as the backbone of our esteemed party. Over a decade since its inception, the organization has welcomed more than 100 members, with a current active membership of 60 young individuals aged 17-40 who are dedicated to the PDM YD’s mission. We represent a generation of passionate, vocal youth committed to ensuring that our voices are heard and represented at all levels of the party and, by extension, our nation. Our goal is to safeguard the interests of young people across the Turks and Caicos Islands.

Aims and Objectives:
The primary aims and objectives of the Young Democrats are as follows:
a) To create an association that accurately reflects the political, educational, social, and economic aspirations of the youth in the Turks and Caicos Islands.
b) To seek affiliations with other organizations aligned with the political, educational, social, and economic objectives of the Young Democrats.
c) To promote and encourage the advancement of all Turks Islanders within an environment of equal opportunity.
d) To cultivate future leaders of the PDM and, by extension, the Turks and Caicos Islands.
e) To enhance our efforts in promoting education, unity, and social responsibility by mentoring the youth throughout the Turks and Caicos Islands.
f) To uphold the principles of good governance by holding the elected government accountable to high standards of integrity, honesty, and transparency, ensuring that their governance promotes the economic and educational advancement of the people of the Turks and Caicos Islands.

Affiliation:
The Young Democrats are proudly affiliated with the People’s Democratic Movement (PDM) political party and the Caribbean Young Democrat Union (CYDU) as our regional partner. We are open to forming alliances with other progressive youth organizations that share our values.
