Say hi! to our members

I joined youth parliament because I wanted to highlight a change to parental laws to make them suitable for the 21^st century.  I look forward to working together with others to hopefully put a spotlight on change for the better.

My name is Christa and I’m excited to be a member of Jersey Youth Parliament.  I’m looking forward to working with the rest of the group to share the views of young people on the island.

I would like to shine light on the voices of Jersey youth and stop us being overlooked in the community.  I am interested in the media and government and hope to be able to impact young people.

I am interested in the environment and doing all we can to save it.  So much is happening all over the world, but even the small things we can do here on our beautiful island, could make a huge difference.

I believe that having a say in Jersey is important, especially for young people around my age.  I am honoured to be part of Jersey Youth Parliament and I hope to make a difference in our community.

Hello!

Hi, I’m Tino.  I joined the youth parliament because I want to make Jersey a safe and comfortable place for both adults and young people.  I also want to make sure the voices of young people are heard and acted on.

My name is Yasmin and I particularly enjoy reading, mathematics, animals, and of course politics.  Politics has always fascinated me, however, I have often felt that young people don’t have enough involvement or contribution regarding our island’s important decisions.  I feel most strongly about Jersey’s environmental issues, sexism, homophobia and racism existing in our community.  The future depends on what you do today.
