We make sure young people have a real voice in Surrey. Your views matter, and we help you share them with the people who make decisions.
We work with councillors, mayors and MPs to make change.
How many of us are there?
We have about 50 members. This includes 7 elected Members of Youth Parliament (MYPs) and a Young Mayor.
How we work
- We meet in person once a month to debate big issues, work on our campaigns, and have fun!
- We choose our campaigns through a public vote. Young people aged 11 to 18 across Surrey pick the issues that matter most, and we design campaigns to tackle them.
