The British Columbia Youth
Parliament’s 85th Parliament will be held in Victoria at the Provincial
Legislative Chambers from December 27 to 31, 2013. The Youth Parliament is a
province-wide non-partisan organization for young people ages 16 to 21. It
teaches citizenship skills through participation in the parliamentary session in
December and continuing involvement in community service activities throughout
the year. Youth Parliament is a one year
commitment.
Students may apply to sit as members of the Youth Parliament. As the Youth Parliament is non-partisan, applicants need only be interested in learning more about the parliamentary process and in serving their community upon return from the Parliament.
Each applicant who is accepted to attend as a member of BCYP must pay a $270 registration fee. Financial support is available for applicants who cannot meet the expense of the registration fee. Requesting financial assistance will not affect an applicant’s chance of being selected as a member. We also provide resources for applicants attempting to secure funding from community sources (see our Join us information page).
Members will sit and debate in the Legislative Chambers for five days and will be accommodated for four nights at the Harbour Towers Hotel in Victoria. During that time, participants are supervised by members of the Board of Directors of the Youth Parliament of B.C. Alumni Society and other youth parliament alumni. In addition, transportation to and from Victoria will be provided for all members who require it.
