The Young Republican National Federation, commonly referred to as the Young Republicans or YRNF, is a 527 organization for members of the Republican Party of the United States between the ages of 18 and 40.^[6] It has both a national organization and chapters in individual states.

Although frequently confused, the YRNF is separate from the College Republicans.

Young Republican clubs are both social and political in nature. Many of them sponsor various social events and networking events for members. In addition, Young Republican clubs assist Republican political candidates and causes.

History

Although Young Republican organizations existed as early as 1856 with the founding of the New York Young Republican Club,^[7] the Young Republican National Federation was formed by George H. Olmsted at the urging of Herbert Hoover.^[8] The YRNF was officially founded in 1931.^[9]
