About

We're an advisory body to City Council whose work is underpinned by two pillars: policy and input to City Council, and the production of initiatives and events.

We've been representing the views, perspectives and aspirations of Edmontonians ages 13-23 since 1995.

In accordance with our mandate, we engage in varied work to serve young citizens. 

We want your help to keep the heart of Alberta beating strong. We want to hear what you think about your city.

Join us in building a brighter municipality.
