·1922年3月 中国社会主义青年团天津支部在北洋法政专门学校成立

        1920年10月上旬,觉悟社社员谌小岑,受李大钊和第三国际的委派,来天津协助张太雷筹建社会主义青年团。经过紧张的筹备,10月,张太雷、谌小岑、胡维宪(觉悟社社员)、吴南如(北洋大学)、郑德、陶某(南开大学)和京奉铁路局的两名职员,共计团员7人,在河东特别二区大马路一家裁缝铺楼上(今建国道91号)开会,选举张太雷为书记,并通过张太雷起草的团章,天津第一个社会主义青年团组织建立。
        会上,大家一致赞成办一份报纸,定名为《劳报》,由谌小岑、胡维宪编辑。1921年1月4日,《劳报》创刊发行,每日四开一张,主要报道国内外新闻、工人状况、工运消息,以杂感、故事、通信等各种体裁和通俗易懂的文字,向工人和群众宣传革命思想。
        团组织除出版报刊外,还进行了一系列的组织活动,星期日例会,7人全到,交流情况,研究问题。并把上海共产主义小组出版的《共产党》月刊和陈望道翻译的 《共产党宣言》介绍给群众; 把李大钊的文章《我的马克思主义观》印成小册子散发,促进了工人运动的发展。
        天津社会主义青年团,属于北京社会主义青年团中央的地方支部。北京经常来人出席会议,指导天津团组织的活动。如赵世炎、瞿秋白、张国焘、何孟雄、邓培等。由于张太雷、谌小岑相继调离,天津第一个社会主义青年团组织,仅活动了两个月。
        1922年3月12日,天津第二个社会主义青年团组织,在宇纬路四段12号(今河北区四号路胜天里)建立。设执行委员会,分为书记、出版、宣传3部; 各部正副主任,都是执行委员; 于树德、李峙山为书记部正副主任; 有团员11人,包括李腾(天津水产学校学生)、安体诚(北洋法政学堂教员)等。1923年下半年,由于于树德、安体诚等被党组织派往外地工作,加上一些学生团员毕业离津,天津青年团人数减少,组织活动暂时停顿下来。
        1924年3月9日,中国社会主义青年团天津地方执行委员会,在直隶高等工业学校召开成立大会,到会男女团员49人。会上推选于方舟、李濂祺、张宝泉、崔溥、王乃宽为委员,邓颖超、王贞儒、卢硕、谢曦为候补委员。4月16日,天津团地委举行第一次会议,拟定了团的活动计划,确定了委员的分工,于方舟任委员长,李濂祺为秘书,张宝泉为会计,崔溥负责宣传,王乃宽负责教育。
        1925年1月,青年团第三次全国代表大会通过决议,社会主义青年团改称中国共产主义青年团,天津遂于3月16日,召开团员大会,改选了新的领导成员。
