Youth Parliament turns 20!

YMCA SA Youth Parliament is celebrating its 20th anniversary! Youth Parliament is program for young people aged 15-24 that offers them the chance to develop skills and to be heard on a wide range of issues relevant to young people's lives.

The Youth Parliament program comprises a training weekend, team meetings and residential program, enabling participants to gain leadership and public speaking skills and to learn about Parliamentary etiquette and Bill development. The Bills developed by the Youth Parliament are debated during Parliament Week in Adelaide Parliament House under the same protocols that apply in the South Australian Parliament, and those that are passed are sent on to the South Australian Government. This is a unique opportunity to Have Your Say.

Youth Parliament is managed by YMCA South Australia with support from Office for Youth, Law Foundation of SA, University of South Australia and the South Australian Parliament.
Applications for Youth Parliament are open until Friday 13 March 2015.
