"Youth always ask and demands for an opportunity to participate and learn about the functional politics, its norms and practicality. Youth Parliament Pakistan is a platform where youth can get the necessary training to get started with their political aspirations, but most importantly groom themselves professionally and also into a more responsible citizen of Pakistan.”
Zoha Khalid
Batch 7
Former Chairperson, Youth Standing Committee on National Security & Foreign Relations
“If you are looking for a platform to debate, criticise and appreciate all what is there in the Pakistani politics, Youth Parliament is definitely the place to be. I will urge the entire young fellow Pakistanis, especially WOMEN, who keep a keen eye on the political affairs of this country to apply for the 8th Youth Parliament.”
Saad Shaukat Elahi

Former Member Youth Parliament Pakistan, Fourth Session
"Youth Parliament Pakistan grooms young people of Pakistan for their betterment and bright future, through Political and Legislative training. It is one of the best debating platform for young energetic youth to open their minds to vast regional and demographical dimensions. Youth Parliament Pakistan enabled me to step-up and become the voice of all those who never had a voice of their own. It helped me highlight the loopholes in our societal norms"
