Need some hours or are you simply looking to meet some like-minded youth?

Youth Parliaments are a must for students who want to meet other motivated and passionate students their age. The British Columbia Youth Parliament is a youth service organization dedicated to fulfilling its’ motto of youth serving youth.  Every year 95 individuals from around BC gather in Victoria at the legislature and spend a week experiencing and partaking in the parliamentary process, debating and learning all about the BC Youth Parliament and its various community initiatives.

Throughout the year, the Members of their organization continue to be involved, partaking in a variety of activities in their communities.  They are responsible for organizing several Regional Youth Parliaments and community service events, as well as a Sweet Dream Dessert and Auction to raise money for our projects.  One of their largest and most ambitious projects is Camp Phoenix, a summer camp for children ages 8-11. Apply early through your school! Check out their website at:
