About the College Republicans

College Republicans is the nation's oldest, largest, and most active youth political organization. Founded in 1892, there are currently over 250,000 CR's around the country on 1,800+ campuses in every state and DC.

Every year, CR's from all across America come together to help elect Republican candidates, support the Republican agenda, and become the future leaders of the conservative movement. College Republicans are the grassroots arm of the Republican Party – the counterbalance to the unions and leftist interest groups.

Our national organization runs three cornerstone programs: our Field Program sends full-time representatives to recruit, train, register, and mobilize our membership nationwide, our Wildfire activism program engages students in social-mobilization efforts to capture our demographic's energy online, and a sophisticated training program to ensure we are always on the cutting edge.
