Youth participation

Highland Youth Parliament

Highland Youth Parliament is the youth voice for the Highlands and is a key way for young people in the Highlands to engage in decision-making processes that affect their lives.

The 70-100 members are elected through secondary schools (either 2 or 3 members per school, depending on the school roll) and the local area youth forums, of which there are 8 and they have 4 representatives each.

The young people have a wide range of opportunities to  have their say and are also involved in taking forward their own agenda and tackling issues that are important to them.

Elections to the youth parliament are held every 2 years.
