Jersey Youth Parliament

Jersey Youth Parliament is an island wide forum for young people to discuss, research and connect current issues to the States Assembly.

The project supports young people in Jersey to lead and engage in discussions about issues that affect them.  The current parliament consists of a diverse group of young people, aged 12-18, that are working on three campaigns: housing, diversity and inclusion and the right to play. Over their 18 month term the members present findings to Members of the States Assembly, engage with the work of scrutiny and a compile reports to share with ministers.
