The Young Republican National Federation (YRNF) is the oldest political youth organization in the United States, serving as the young professional arm of the Republican Party. Its mission is to recruit, train, and elect the next generation of Republican leaders, providing a pathway for young people to engage in political work and campaigns. The organization traces its origins to 1931, founded by West Point graduate George H. Olmsted after his involvement with President Herbert Hoover, and in 1935 it adopted the Young Republican National Federation name, with Olmsted as its first president. Based in Washington, DC, the federation functions as a grassroots organization that supports Republican campaigns and engages members through community involvement and events. It notes a long-standing role in developing future leaders and, in 2016, expanded its online branding with the .gop domain.
