Who we are
Democracy is something we practice together every day.
Badger Youth Organizing brings young Wisconsinites together to build community, learn, organize, and take part in our democracy all year long.
Working-class, rural, immigrant, and communities of color are at the center of shaping Wisconsin’s future.
We build social connection, shared identity, and the resources to organize around the everyday issues that affect our lives.
Our goal is year-round social and civic engagement on campuses and communities, not a campaign that disappears after Election Day.
What we do
From a first conversation to lasting community power.
Build Community
Make space for real relationships, shared identity, and joy.
Make Voting Accessible
Help people learn how to vote and understand what is on the ballot.
Organize Year-Round
Grow durable networks on campuses and in communities across Wisconsin.
Young People’s Platform
Tell Wisconsin what young people need to thrive.
We are centering the voices of young people across Wisconsin so everyone can live with security, dignity, and joy. Your input will help lift up the values and priorities of our communities.
For people ages 18-35 who live, work, or attend school in Wisconsin.
