Meet new friends
Every year, youth from across Ontario begin the OYP weekend as a group of strangers and end as close friends. Together you will debate, dance, yell cheers and talk late into the night, making friendships that will last a lifetime.
Speak your mind
OYP is a model parliament where youth say what they think on current issues. Although debate is modeled after provincial legislature, this is an non-partisan organization, with each delegate free to speak and vote according to his or her own thoughts.
Know your heart
Spirituality is examined through nightly vespers, a chance to unwind and reflect upon our relationships with ourselves, others, and God. While OYP is Christian-based, we welcome youth of all faiths and encourage an open discussion.
