Why should I participate?

Well, why not?

Are you passionate about any issues? YP gives you the opportunity to advise South Australian politicians & decision-makers on matters affecting young people.

Do you get terrified when you have to make a speech? Youth Parliament is a great opportunity for you to develop your public speaking & debating skills – you don’t have to speak if you don’t want to, but after participating in Youth Parliament you will be more confident when speaking in front of groups.

Do you want to learn more about government & politics? You will be able to  learn first-hand how Government & the Parliament operate.

Do you want to meet new people? You will get the chance  meet about 110 other young people – the program includes a great Camp & you can  form friendships that could last for years.
