Membership FAQ
Updated Last: 6/24/2026
Difference between paid and non-paid members?
Non-paid membership is the most flexible membership. It allows members to join and participate in their local chapters, attending YDW events and more!
Paid members are voting members at the state convention who are eligible to be delegate, run, and serve as statewide officers. Paid members also get into all YDW ticketed events for free and get mailed a membership card.
How do I become a Member?
Membership is open to any individual between the ages of fourteen (14) and forty (40), inclusive, who resides in Wisconsin or is registered to vote in Wisconsin, subscribes to the principles of the Democratic Party, and agrees to abide by the Constitution, Bylaws, Policies, and Code of Conduct of the Young Democrats of Wisconsin.
