Alberta

The Young Politicians of Canada (YPC) Alberta chapter is dedicated to giving young people across Alberta the tools they need to effectively take part in civic engagement.

We create opportunities for youth to engage in meaningful discussions about current issues, connect with leaders, and develop the confidence to participate in politics and advocacy regardless of political affiliation.

Over the past year, YPC Alberta has led several youth-focused initiatives aimed at amplifying student voices and encouraging community involvement. Back in March, we hosted the Alberta Youth Summit: a networking event between political leaders and students along with an informative panel discussion. 

In addition to event, was one of our most impactful projects: the Your Voice Matters campaign. During the 2025 Alberta teacher strike, we provided students across the province with a platform to share their experiences and perspectives and concerns they felt about the strike and the current education system. The campaign gained significant online traction, with 100,000 views, and helped highlight the importance of including youth voices in conversations that directly affect them.

YPC Alberta has also organized virtual guest speaker events enabling students to gain more insight into the lives of students studying and working in political fields. We also have a social media series called “The Advocacy Toolkit”, discussing topics that youth need to be aware of to create change in their community.

YPC Alberta is committed to making your ideas come to life and is currently planning many new projects and initiatives. Our mission is simple: empower young people to understand their voices, use them confidently, and help shape the future of their communities.
