Youth-Led

We are a youth-led, youth-driven, and youth-focused organization. We advocate for issues affecting the future of Canadians as well, and we engage in topics affecting youth. We engage young Canadians aged 14–24 in the political world through Provincial Councils, placements, leadership opportunities, and the National Youth Roundtable on Legislation.

Political Placements 

We offer placements in municipal, provincial, and federal offices. We also offer placements for select youth representatives during elections. We provide young Canadians the opportunity to be a part of the democratic process while gaining real-world experience while working within the Canadian governmental system. This looks like working on active youth representory projects within government and NGO offices.

Leadership 

We value initiative, innovation, socially driven advocacy, and responsibility.  Leadership in the YPC means engaging in youth politics, as we are composed entirely of Canadian youth. With work from our Provincial Councils, Placements, and National Roundtable, we work to mobilize young Canadians to be involved in their civic duties.

Outreach 

Working with YPC provides members with the opportunity to get involved in Canadian politics and advocate for major political issues in Canada. We are always seeking volunteers to participate in all facets of our organization and welcome those who are interested to reach out.  We further encourge memebrs to take on their own inititiaves through campus clubs and youth representation.

"Young Canadians deserve more than a voice in this country, they deserve a seat at the table."
