Scottish Youth Parliament
The SYP began just over ten years ago in 1999 and is getting stronger every year. We listen to young people and understand what issues are important to them and then campaign to try to make Scotland a better place for young people.
Our vision is of a stronger, more inclusive Scotland that empowers young people by truly involving them in the decision making process. We do this through our Members (MSYPs) who are elected young people aged between 14- 25 representing different areas and voluntary organisations from across the whole of Scotland. Every year we have at least three national meetings where we discuss issues which affect young people and try to propose new and sometimes radical solutions to these problems.
Across Glasgow, we have 16 MSYPs, representing 8 constituencies.
