Our club aims to make a difference in our community and the world around us during our high school careers. We encourage our student body to become involved in politics and opportunities to promote democratic ideals.
OUR MISSION
The mission of the NCATD is to promote the interests of high school students and teenagers through activism and volunteering within the Democratic Party. This mission is accomplished through six core goals: - To increase youth participation in the political process through involvement in our organization - To inspire civil discourse among youth through work with the North Carolina Democratic Party - To aid members as future American leaders through engagement in professional development - To promote elected officials and nominees of the Democratic Party through campaign volunteering - To serve local, state, national, and international communities through philanthropic involvement - To promote the Democratic Party ideals through activism and lobbying of government officials
