8 September 2014
The British Columbia Youth Parliament's 86th Parliament will hold its parliamentary session in Victoria at the Provincial Legislative Chambers from December 27 to 31, 2014. The Youth Parliament is a province-wide nonpartisan organization for young people ages 16 to 21. It teaches citizenship skills through participation in the December parliamentary session and in community service activities throughout the year. Youth Parliament is a one year commitment.
I invite you to encourage eligible youth from your municipality or region to apply to sit as members of the Youth Parliament. Youth Parliament is non-partisan, and applicants need only be interested in learning more about the parliamentary process and in serving their community.
Each applicant who is accepted to attend as a member ofBCYP must pay a $275 registration fee. Thanks to a grant from Coast Capital Savings, a substantial portion of the cost of transportation and accommodation is covered for all members. Financial support is available for applicants who cannot meet the expense of the registration fee . Requesting financial assistance will not affect an applicant' s chance of being selected as a member. We also provide resources for applicants attempting to secure funding from community sources, including schools and service clubs (see www.bcyp.org/joinus.html).
Members will sit and debate in the Legislative Chambers for five days and will be accommodated for four nights at the Harbour Towers Hotel in Victoria. During that time, participants are supervised by members of the Board of Directors of the Youth Parliament of B.C. Alumni Society and other youth parliament alumni. In addition, transportation to and from Victoria will be provided for all members who require it.
I have enclosed an application form and two copies of a brochure about BCYP. I encourage you to make the application form and brochure available to interested young people and to make copies of the forms as needed. If your municipality sponsors a "youth of the year'' award or has a municipal youth council, young people with that sort of initiative and involvement are ideal candidates for our organization. A soft copy of the form is available from our website at www.bcyp.org/joinus.html, along with soft copies of the brochure and a promotional poster.
All applications must be received by October 22, 2014. Applicants will be notified whether they have been selected in early November. If you require more information, please contact me by telephone or e-mail as indicated above, or visit our website at www.bcyp.org.
Yours truly,

is an extraordinarily unique organization
for youth and by youth.
For a full year, 95 members pool their
resources, creativity and determination for
a common purpose: to advance, better, and
improve the lives of the youth of British
Columbia. BCYP brings to,gether youth
from across the province and unites them t o
fulfill the motto of"Youth Serving Youth".
The youth ofBCYP reach out and make a
difference across British Columbia.

Why We Are a Parliament British Columbia Youth Parliament began as the TUXIS Older Boys' Parliament in 1924. In 1974, upon the admittance of girls, It became BC Youth Parliament, and 2013 marked its 85th Session.
Every year, between December 27th and 31st, 95 young people from across British Columbia gather at the Legislative Chambers in Victoria for the annual parliamentary session of BC Youth Parliament. Members sit as Independents; they do not represent any political party and they vote according to their own consciences. They learn about parliamentary process, debate topics of Interest, and plan activities for the coming year.
Proposed activities are presented in the form of government bills. The debate is led by a Cabinet of experienced youth parliamentarians who spend months before preparing to present their plans. First-time members are also able to raise issues through debate on government legislation and by writing and presenting Private Members' Resolutions dealing with issues ranging from local to international in scope.
Once BCYP's bills are passed they must be put into effect. This is where BCYP differs from other youth parliaments in that BCYP is not a "model" or "mock" parliament- the legislation members pass translates directly into positive action in the community.

Regional Youth Parliaments To increase the number of youth who are able to participate in Youth Parliament activities, BCYP members organize and run Re'glonal Youth Parliaments In various reg~ons of~the province. Through these events, BC Youth Parliament furthers its goals of promoting community service, education In the parliamentary process, and training in public speaking and debating.
More local In scope than BCYP, Regional Youth Parliaments hold weekend-long sessions aimed at high school students between the ages of 14 and 18. Members gather to plan their activities for the upcomiQg year, as well as discussing local, national, and international issues in a parliamentary setting.
Youth Serving Youth

Members come together to volunteer with different organizations or special events, or serve to the community in ways of their own devising. They volunteer with summer camps, food banks, charity walks, soup kitchens, community support services, and other service organizations.
As well, all over British Columbia throughout the year, Individual members of BCYP perform solo acts of service to their communities and lend a hand through their Involvement with other organizations. Across the province, BCYP members help others in myriad ways, limited only by their imaginations and the will to carry out the projects they envision.
Community Fundraising
~h year BCYP o~ganizes a variety offundraislng events across the province. Members work In groups and in their communities to raise the funds required to run BCYP's projects and cover Its operational expenses. They also engage In service-related fundraising, working in groups and Individually to raise money for a variety of causes.
Fundraisers range from pledge events and car washes to auctions and carnivals. Members also solicit donations from local businesses and prominent members of their local communities.
