Hosted by the Young Democrats of Bulloch County
We are thrilled to host this year’s convention in Statesboro, Georgia, the heart of Bulloch County, where we’re bringing our movement to a place where change is happening on the ground every day.
It's been a while since our Convention has been held outside a metro area, and we couldn’t be more excited to show you what rural Georgia has to offer. As a chapter, we believe in the power of rural communities to create meaningful, lasting change. Hosting the convention in Statesboro allows us to showcase our commitment to organizing in every corner of Georgia—because Georgia’s future is rural, urban, and everything in between.
​​
Over the weekend, you’ll experience dynamic programming, engaging trainings, and the kind of grassroots networking that only a convention like this can provide. We’re committed to creating an event that empowers you to make a difference in your community, no matter where you come from.
​
Thank you for joining us in Statesboro—we can’t wait to keep building the future of Georgia together!
