What is Junior Parliament

Junior Parliament is a non-partisan program that gives young people an opportunity to learn about democracy, parliament, team building, public speaking and leadership in a fun and supportive environment. Junior Parliament is a program for young people aged 12 - 15 and is based on the successful successful Youth Parliament program.

Junior Parliament is run by young people for young people. It’s a chance to BE THE CHANGE on the issues you care about, meet some new friends & develop your leadership skills.

The Program is a three-day camp that includes mentoring, skill building and leadership opportunities. Participants share their big ideas, discuss the challenges facing South Australia and create solutions in the form of Youth Bills.
