OYL Committees
The OYL operates a number of committees that any member can get involved in. They are a great way to get more involved in the organisation, and to help shape both the strategic goals we set and how we get there. They are also a great way to expand your network, engage more people in our party, and help advocate for the things you believe in.
Women’s Issues Committee
The Women’s Issues Committee promotes visibility for women’s issues and works on improving women’s representation in politics.

Media Outreach Committee
The Media Outreach Committee works on strategies for improving the OYL’s profile in the media, with a focus on campus media (but not limited to campus media). This is the committee for you if you’re interested in helping to draft media release templates, letters-to-the-editor, OpEds, and other communications products. We are always looking for people with big ideas on how to generate “earned media” for the OYL — in other words, things the OYL can do to “make a splash” and generate positive coverage for our cause.

Opposition Watch
The Opposition Watch Committee monitors and reports on the activities of the opposition. They work to set the record straight on attacks made by the opposition, and to expose misleading statements. This committee will come up with communications products to draw contrasts between the OYL and our opposition, as well as creative ways to spread positive messages about the OYL.

Web Committee
The Web Committee maintains the OYL’s social networks, and comes up with new ways to reach out to our members and to the public online. They have responsibility over much of the content on this website, and for maintaining our Twitter and Facebook pages. This committee also monitors developments in social media and stays on top of best practices so the OYL can be on the cutting edge of social media outreach.
