National Association of Parliamentarians > About > NAP Structure

New Youth Partner

Youth is always trending with NAP!

NAP has a dedicated standing committee to specifically address the needs of young people and enhance their learning about parliamentary procedure. The association partners with various youth organizations (see below) that host regular competitions at local, state, and national events. These competitions are an excellent tool for recruiting prospective young members to NAP and grooming the next chapter of keepers of the democratic process. NAP’s youth are building new relationships—drawing members of NAP together within and across cities, states, and countries.
