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.{{Cite web|url=http://www.njyrf.com/teen-republicans/|title=Teen Republicans|website=NJYRF|access-date=2016-09-24}} 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.
