ACT Youth MP
The next Youth Parliament will occur this year, with Youth members participating in a programme from Monday 28 April 2025 to Friday 29 August 2025, including a two-day Youth Parliament event in Wellington on Tuesday 01 and Wednesday 02 July 2025.
Youth Parliament offers young people the opportunity to participate in the Parliamentary process and connect with their communities. It will be a significant opportunity for these young people living in New Zealand to gather the views of their peers and bring young people’s voices to Parliament.
Cameron Luxton, ACT MP, is looking for a young person involved in the trades to be my Youth MP. He wants to see more people who are making their way in the hands-on world from a young age involved in this event. He thinks it is important that these young people have their voices heard in conversations about their experiences in New Zealand.
He is looking for a young person who is:
- Aged 16-18 years old as at Friday 28 February 2025
- Living in New Zealand
- Able to manage the time commitment of being a Youth MP from Friday 28 April 2025 to Friday 29 August 2025, including the two-day Youth Parliament event in Wellington
- Prepared to work within the protocols and behavioral expectations of Youth Parliament 2025.
- Involved in the trades.
