Members of Youth Parliament (MYPs)

MYPs represent Lincolnshire young people so that their voices can be heard both regionally and nationally. MYPs sit on the Lincolnshire Youth Cabinet though may take on slightly different roles and push UK Youth Parliament priorities and campaigns forward locally. They also make sure that local priorities are discussed regionally and nationally.

Deputy Member of Youth Parliament (DMYPs)

All Youth Cabinet members who wish to have the opportunity to attend regional meetings (held on Saturdays) can register to be DMYPs. This may allow them to attend key national events like the Annual Sitting (residential) and the House of Commons debates.
