YPC Clubs

What are YPC Clubs?

YPC Clubs aim to provide civic education, networking opportunities, and a space for students to freely discuss their political interests. They will allow students to explore political issues specific to their own communities and share it across the YPC’s federal network.

Objectives:

Political & Civic Engagement: Educate members on civic processes, election cycles, and the importance of exercising one’s right to vote

Advocacy and Mobilization: Encourage students to address issues that concern both their local and the federal government

Leadership Development: Facilitate activities and events for students to develop their leadership skills
Networking and Collaboration: Utilize the YPC’s nationwide network of students to foster the dialogue of youth voices in politics
