Subscriber only Burnett MP Stephen Bennett is calling on young leaders to apply for Youth parliament to create real change in Queensland. Young people have the opportunity to rub shoulders with MPs and learn the inner workings of the government, but the deadline is looming. It s an opportunity for our youth to have their voices heard and to create real change in their community, he said. The program teaches you how the system works and I know the youth members also have a great time and make good friends along the way. I encourage any young people interested in how our democracy works to apply.

Young Central Queenslanders who are looking to make a real change in their communities are encouraged to participate in the 2021 YMCA Queensland Youth Parliament, with nominations now open.
The YMCA Queensland Youth Parliament offers young Queenslanders aged 15 to 25 years the opportunity to speak up for their communities and learn first-hand about parliamentary processes.
Member for Keppel and Assistant Education Minister Brittany Lauga said since 1996, the YMCA Queensland Youth Parliament had brought young people together to learn about democracy, connect with their peers and have a say about important issues facing the state.
“I encourage young people to nominate for this program to assist them to build their leadership skills and learn about influencing change,” Ms Lauga said.
