Young Greens

The Young Greens are a nation-wide organisation which is made up from a number of smaller sub-groups, including networks in cities, and on school and university campuses. These networks are semi-autonomous, and all make decisions using consensus – ensuring everyone's voice is heard.

We are coordinated nationally by the Young Greens Executive which meets once a month on the phone or via Skype. It consists of a male and female Co-Convenor, one person from each of the nine provinces around the country – called a Young Green Provincial Executive Networker – and various other people holding roles such as Secretary and Treasurer. The Co-Convenors coordinate the Young Greens Executive and are a national point of contact, and the Provincial Networkers represent their provinces on the Executive and help to coordinate activities in their local areas. These roles are elected at the Young Greens AGM every February. But of course any Young Green is welcome to go on the Young Greens Executive email list and contribute to our monthly calls.

  • Government suffocating polytechnics

    The Government is squandering another opportunity to boost economic productivity and get young adults off the street by refusing to fully fund tertiary education institutions. Twenty per cent of those in the 15 to 19 age bracket were not employed or being trained, and cost the economy $1b a year, Dr Stuart Middleton reported at the Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics Conference.
