RECRUIT. EMPOWER. GROW.


The Illinois High School Democrats is a coalition of students from across the state working together to further the message and values of the Democratic Party. Organized on a community level, students are able to actively take part in both local and state campaigns, in turn formulating opinions and values on key issues. One student alone cannot be heard among the countless thousands but together they can be heard loud and clear. Learn More


As we continue to expand the foundation of Illinois High School Democrats, it is necessary to have leadership specializing in each area of the state. Currently the State of Illinois is divided into fifteen districts, with each district having one District Director. District Directors are responsible for over seeing the development and sustainability of chapters in in their district. We are now accepting applications for the districts listed below.
