History
The Young Greens were set up by young members of the Green Party of England and Wales in 2002. The organisation aimed to build local groups at universities, colleges, higher education institutions, sixth form colleges and schools, with no lower age limit for joining. Since then, it has grown to a membership of over 3000 young members of the Green Party, nearly 20 local grounds and a regional group in London, as well as working with non-student members.
Many Young Greens have been elected to County or City Councils, including Adrian Ramsay the former deupty leader of the Green Party in Norwich; Matt Sellwood, a former chair of the Young Greens, in Oxford and Ash Haynes, current Female co-Chair and youngest ever Green councillor, in Norwich.
