JYAN for Youth Governance
Youth involvement in governance decision-making processes is critical. JYAN recognizes a need to advocate for expanded and meaningful youth participation in governmental forums including through extensive and streamlined support to youth delegates and representatives. Our main points of advocacy surround looking at youth voter apathy, low voter turnout amongst young people, minimal youth representation in government spaces, and meaningfully engaging young people in decision-making.
