YGRG was founded by three undergraduates in Morse College. We hope to change the way Yalies engage with politics.
The Yale Government Relations Group (YGRG) was founded with a simple idea: Yale students should not just learn about politics in class, they should take part in it. Through YGRG, Asher, Ben, and Jonathan hope to redefine the way Yalies engage with the political process.
As a nonpartisan organization, we provide a platform for any student to share and refine their ideas in Washington, driving meaningful change through federal lobbying.
Our long-term goals:
Any Yale College undergraduate in good standing is eligible to join and is welcome to apply to YGRG. We are a nonpartisan organization open to students hoping to make a meaningful impact on federal policy.
We send out a short Google Form at the beginning of each semester for anyone interested in joining YGRG. The form collects some basic information and gives you space to share why you’d like to get involved.
We welcome all students, regardless of prior knowledge, and provide the tools you need to succeed. Every perspective matters, whether you study political science, engineering, theatre, or anything else. Policy influences every aspect of life, from sports to international trade to the food you eat, and YGRG gives you the chance to shape the issues you care about most.
