Structure

ONDY members are grouped into clubs designated to represent one of 4 things: a riding, a school campus, a labour group, or a region. These clubs organize various events and act as the local chapters of ONDY. At the provincial level, ONDY is run by its executive, which are elected to one year terms by the Ontario New Democratic Youth's entire membership at its yearly convention. The executive must adhere to the rules of gender parity and is headed by two Co-Chairs.[1]

Influence

The two co-chairs of ONDY are given a place on the Ontario New Democratic Party executive. In addition, ten members of the Ontario New Democratic Youth are chosen at the annual convention to attend provincial council on behalf of ONDY. Local youth clubs are also able to send two members to meetings of the Ontario New Democratic Party's provincial council.[2]
