Young Persons Policy Group

Get hands-on with policy advocacy!

Our Young Persons Policy Group is an informal, collaborative forum for our members to work together to take action for our seas and engage directly with marine policy. The YPPG meets online once a month and is facilitated by one of the YSCS team members.

By joining the group, you'll:

  • Use your voice: Ensure your generation's voice is heard by sharing your thoughts, ideas and insights on current marine issues.

  • Gain practical experience: Develop your policy skills through activities such as collaborating on consultation responses, talking directly to decision-makers, meeting experts, contributing to policy briefs and loads more!

  • Stay informed: Keep up-to-date with the latest developments in marine policy and how they could impact both marine ecosystems and people in Scotland.
