Candidate Profile
Why do you want to be an MSYP?
I would like to be an MSYP because I want to be part of the team that makes a difference for young people in Scotland. Through community, education, and politics.
How will you consult with the young people in your area or organisation to ensure that they are represented well and their voices are heard?
I would use surveys and interviews around schools to find out what people really want, and to make sure that their ideas are heard, no matter what they are.
Why should someone vote for you?
People should vote for me because I care deeply and passionately about young people and their voices. I want to make a difference in all aspects of society and for all aspects of society.
