Young Greens at our Annual Convention 2009

The Young Greens are organised in universities right across the island, and are currently expanding into other colleges as we prepare to celebrate our 10th birthday in 2012. Our branches are largely independent from each other, which allows ordinary members to have a real input into what we do from year to year! We are a member-driven group.
