YOUTH PARLIAMENT SPEAKERS
At the last meeting we had Nathan and Ashleigh speaking to us on Youth Parliament.
This is run by the YMCA and is available to 15 to 25 year olds.
The aim of this organisation is to encourage young people to have a say in the things that the
state need.
They learn about the parliamentary process and etiquette. They learn speech writing, debating,
public speaking, team work and develop leadership skills.
Many graduates of this organization have become members of local Government
in recent years.
