YMCA NSW Youth Parliament Press Gallery

Press Gallery Applications Close May 11 2012!

 

The YMCA New South Wales Youth Parliament is a program that provides a way for young people aged 15-18 to put across their ideas about issues that concern them. It is a program where the opinions and concerns of young people in NSW are heard by those who have the power to make laws.

The YMCA NSW Youth Parliament Press Gallery program will give a group of second year students the opportunity to cover the sittings of Youth Parliament and produce a three-issue newspaper-style publication for distribution amongst participants, parents, Members of Parliament and sponsors—an audience of over 400 people. They will also help the YMCA NSW Youth Parliament media team write press releases, conduct interviews and take photographs for external media.

Any second year journalism, politics or related studies student, 18 years older is eligible to apply.
