\"\"The Youth Parliament for the Swiss Abroad (YPSA) is a community of young Swiss, aged 15 to 35, living in various countries around the world. The parliament is made up of 13 committee members who meet monthly and work towards various goals aimed at connecting young Swiss living abroad. It is completely managed by young people, but keeps in contact with the Organisation of the Swiss Abroad (ASO).\u00a0YPSA was founded in 2015 and has continued to grow and improve since then.<\/p>\n
