The YMCA NSW Junior Parliament aims to teach young people aged 12-15 about parliamentary processes, give them the chance to develop policies in committees and speak on behalf of their communities in Parliament House.
These students will have the opportunity to debate about what matters to young people in their communities and then be taught how to apply their ideas into their community.
