The Youth Parliament is made up of about 30 students, and they meet every Wednesday from 4pm-6pm at the House of Assembly where they discuss issues and ideas as they pertain to the youth of Bermuda.
They have formal debates, which are a culmination of their discussions each week. They prepare and come up with the motions, prepare the speeches and invite guests in to discuss and share information that will help them get a better understanding of the youth issues.
