Contents

SYYL is the largest youth political organisation in Yorkshire, and campaigns across the county and the country for the Labour Party, focussing on both local and national issues that affect young people. SYYL members also get involved in the Labour Party through local policy events and by attending events and socials.

SYYL works closely with other youth sections of the Labour Party, particularly Young Labour as a whole, West Yorkshire Young Labour, Labour Students, the Young Fabians and the youth sections of various trade unions and affiliated socialist societies.
