What are the
Young Greens?
The Young Greens of Ontario (YGO) is the youth wing of the Ontario Greens.
The Young Greens of Ontario (YGO) are all about giving young people a real voice in the political process. We’re proud to be part of the Green Party’s commitment to Participatory Democracy, one of the core values outlined in the Global Greens Charter.
So, what’s Participatory Democracy? It’s the belief that everyone, yes everyone, should have the chance to directly shape the decisions that impact their lives. And when it comes to youth, the Global Greens have a special focus:
“Strong support for giving young people a voice through educating, encouraging, and assisting youth involvement in every aspect of political life — including decision-making at every level.”

Meet the Young Greens Representatives
YGO Co-Chair
YGO Co-Chair
The Provincial Executive (PE) is the highest governing body in the Party, and the job of the Young Green Reps is to advocate for youth on all governance decisions the Provincial Executive makes. These decisions include filling committees, approving budgets, making strategic decisions, and much more.
These representatives are also responsible for organizing the Young Greens, including helping campus clubs, posting on social media, and running initiatives to mobilize youth.
Those 2 positions are currently held by Sophia Andrew-Joiner and Jaycob Jacques, but you can join the young Greens executive too!
Young Greens Campus Clubs
Campus clubs operate at post-secondary institutions and are a great way for Green Party supporters to stay engaged with the Party while away at school.
Campus clubs are active in their communities promoting the Party and its values and are also a great way for supporters to make connections and socialize.
