Young Labour is the youth section of the UK Labour Party. Membership is automatic for Labour Party members aged 14 to 26.[1]
It exists to involve young people in the Labour Party and ensure that the aspirations of young people are reflected in Labour's policies in power. Young Labour members are able to get involved in the Labour Party through local policy events, campaigning or by attending events and social gatherings.
Young Labour hosts an annual conference, alternating between national committee elections and policy conferences every other year. Young Labour also holds a range of additional national events, including fringe sessions at the annual Labour Party Conference.
Young Labour is affiliated to both the International Union of Socialist Youth (IUSY) and Young European Socialists (YES).[citation needed]
