The Queensland Young Greens are the youth wing of the Queensland Greens and is open to all members under the age of 30 across the state of Queensland.
The Queensland Young Greens provide a forum for young people to express their opinions on political issues and contribute towards the shaping of party policies. The youth wing was established in order to draw new ideas from the youth community and provide an avenue for Queenslander's under the age of 30 to influence the political landscape within Queensland.
The Youth Wing's main focus is on election campaigning; skills training; policy development and hosting a number of different social events.

Famous quotes containing the words young and/or greens:
“I was too young to take it all in. I was too young to even realize I was young. I was just living my life.”
—Tracy Austin (b. 1962)
“Our democracy, our culture, our whole way of life is a spectacular triumph of the blah. Why not have a political convention without politics to nominate a leader who’s out in front of nobody?... Maybe our national mindlessness is the very thing that keeps us from turning into one of those smelly European countries full of pseudo-reds and crypto-fascists and greens who dress like forest elves.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
