The following information has been
forwarded to Smithfield State High School regarding the QCAA-accredited
program, Queensland Youth Parliament (QYP).
QYP is the largest non-partisan forum
for youth aged 15-25.
We have 93 youth members from every
electorate around the state, including four fully funded Indigenous seats. Our
program provides a fundamental link between young people and the Queensland
State Government. The bills that are written and debated in Youth Parliament
are then considered by the actual State Parliament.
Our program is ultimately one of the
best opportunities for young people to have their voices heard and create
change in their community. The issues young people face around the state
deserve to be listened to and solved.
We are seeking young people from your
electorate to stand up for themselves and their communities. They don't have to
be a great public speaker to apply, just as long as they're passionate.
We would love to see students from your
school nominate. Nominations close 27 February.
Here is a link to our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/YMCAQueenslandYouthParliament/?fref=ts and
our website: ymcaqyp.org.au for
more information, and I have attached an electronic version of our brochure.
If you have any questions, please don't
hesitate to contact me
Thank you very much.
