Edinburgh Young Greens (EYG) are the youth wing of the Scottish Green Party in Edinburgh. We are represented on the Edinburgh Green Party committee, but remain a self-organising group with our own meetings, elected officials, and campaigns.
We want to make Green politics more accessible to young people, facilitate their political development, campaign on issues important to them and provide a space to socialise and discuss Green politics with like-minded people.
The current committee are:
- Co-Conveners: Julia Bandel and Jamie Kiernan
- Secretary: Nelly Brauers
- Treasurer: Iona Riley
- Communications Officer & Policy Officer: Linus West
- Gender/Inclusion Officer & Welfare Officer: Rosie Smith
Who can join?
We welcome anyone living in Edinburgh up to the age of 30 as well as university students of any age. You don’t have to be a member of the Scottish Green Party to participate in our events as long as you’d be eligible to join it (i.e. you’re not a member of any other political party other than a Green party).
How can I get involved?
EYG regularly hosts formal and social events. Recent events have included an evening with former Green MEP Magid Magid, a Green pub quiz, and campaigning for Edinburgh’s Green candidates during the General Election 2019.
Be sure sure to follow us on social media for the latest updates!
