The New Democratic Youth of Alberta (NDYA) is the official youth branch of Alberta's NDP, and they act as a youth advocacy group within the centre-left party. Any party member between the age of 14 and 30 is automatically considered a member of the New Democratic Youth of Alberta (NDYA).[1]
They feel that "issues of working-class empowerment, gender equality, environmental sustainability, and the tolerance of sexual preference, as well as other struggles for social justice, provide the necessary foundation for the formation of a better, more humane, society."
The current executive is currently made up of 13 youth from across the province:
The organization's executive serves one-year terms, with a review of the executive every year at either the Alberta NDP's provincial council, provincial convention, or at the NDYA yearly convention.
