Jersey Youth Assembly (JYA)

The Jersey Youth Assembly is currently undergoing an exciting transformation, bringing together the best elements of both the Jersey Youth Parliament and the former Youth Assembly.

We’re creating a platform where young people can:

Voice their opinions on issues that matter most to them
Build leadership skills and develop the confidence and tools to create change
Collaborate, innovate and work together on the policies and project that impact them
