About GYPC
GYPC is a group of elected young people who represent the views of children and young people in Royal Greenwich. They influence decisions across the council.
Who can take part
You can run for election to become a youth councillor for your school or youth hub. As a youth councillor, you'll help to:
- raise awareness of how young people can get involved in politics, democracy and citizenship
- help other young people understand how policies can affect them, and how they can shape those policies
You'll also meet new people, learn new skills and take part in regional and national activities.

The UK Youth Parliament is a programme run by the British Youth Council.
It provides opportunities for 11 to 18 year olds to use their voice in creative ways to bring about social change.
Every year, GYPC elect one of their members to represent Royal Greenwich at national events, including the UK Youth Parliament's annual sitting and the annual House of Commons debate.
