National Youth Parliament of Jamaica NYPJ is a non partisan organization of passionate and active youth leaders who will use their voices to represent the youth of Jamaica in relevant forums.

The National Youth Parliament of Jamaica (NYPJ) was started in November 2003 as a non-partisan initiative aimed at providing youth from across Jamaica with a form to express their views, network and debate issues of concern in the House of Representatives. The Parliament has traditionally been hosted as part of the slate of activities for National Youth Month celebrations in Jamaica, with the most recent sitting being in 2009. The NYPJ is being restructured to provide an opportunity for youth to deepen their understanding of parliamentary democracy, while developing skills in research, policy formulation and analysis, advocacy, public speaking and communication. At the same time, youth will have the opportunity to dialogue with national political representatives, and review legislation and policy towards advancing the youth mainstreaming agenda.

Kyle Lambert grew up in Ocho Rios, St Ann, where he attended Columbus Preparatory School. From the Garden Parish, he made the educational transition to St Andrew-based Ardenne High School, where his sojourn ended after grade nine. The migration with his family to New York had taken him out of the Jamaican classroom. In New York, he worked hard, not just with the books, but also in his community. He was rewarded with “New York Senate legislation recognition” for his contributions to his community, as well as national scholarships such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Scholarship, and the Jack Kent Cooke Scholarship. With an honours diploma, he graduated at the top of his class as valedictorian.
