In 2007 members participated actively in the establishment of Union of Social Democrats.[2][clarification needed]

On 6 December 2009 the process of cooperation between Young Socialist of Georgia and Russian Social Democratic Union of Youth fully supported during the conference of Young political leaders from Black Sea area.[6]
