Young Greens

Scottish Young Greens are the youth wing of the Scottish Green Party. We are represented on the party’s decision-making bodies, but we remain a self-organising group with our own meetings, elected officials, and campaigns.

We want to make Green politics more accessible to young people, facilitate their political development, campaign on issues important to them and provide a space to socialise and discuss Green politics with like-minded people.

Who can join?

We welcome anyone up to the age of 30, as well as university students of any age. You don’t have to be a member of the Scottish Green Party to participate in our events as long as you’d be eligible to join it (meaning you’re not a member of a political party other than a Green party in another country).
