Become an MSYP

The Scottish Youth Parliament is seeking young people to stand as candidates in 3 constituencies.

• Clackmannanshire
• Eilean Siar
• West Dunbartonshire

If you're aged 14-25 and interested in representing the young people in your area, please contact the SYP at elections@syp.org.uk or 0131 313 2488 and we'll do our best to put you in touch with the relevant people within your Local Authority. 

If you live in a local authority area where the MSYPs have been elected, you can still engage with the Scottish Youth Parliament in several ways. These are:

Sign up to our social media sites. This will provide you with the most up to date information on consultations and campaigns that we are running. This will also let you know when we are opening up the election process again.

Sign up to receive our monthly updates. These will provide you with an outline of the key work that the Scottish Youth Parliament is participating in and hopefully get you involved with some of our events and campaigns.

Get involved locally. Many local authorities have local youth forums or other structures. These are a great way to make a difference at a local level. To find out the contact information for your local forum, get in touch with us.
