Every parish is entitled to elect a youth delegate for Synod, including Electoral Synods.  Youth delegates must be members of the parish, and between ages 16-25.  Sometimes parishes don't or can't elect a youth delegate because Synod usually falls on school days.  However, the Electoral Synod on September 12 will be held only on a Saturday.  There will also be much less traveling required than a usual Synod.  This may mean that youth in your parish would be able to attend.
