The purpose of the Young Greens of Canada (YGC) is to:

support the Green Party in their efforts to elect candidates to the House of Commons;
ensure a youth voice is part of debating and forming legislation in Canada’s Parliament;
ensure a youth voice is part of developing the policy, positions, and platforms of the Party;
facilitate the involvement of young Canadians and encourage youth-friendly structures and atmosphere within the YGC and the Party more broadly; and
ensure the Principles of the Global Greens Charter that reference young people are respected and prioritized.
