The IPY Youth Steering Committee (YSC) has set up a number of working groups in the runup to International Polar Year next year, and is looking for volunteers to join. Groups include the IPY Early Career Working Group, Polar Contests Working Group, Website Working Group, International Youth Conference on the Poles Working Group, Students on Ice Working Group and the International Geophysical Year Working Group (bringing together youth with those who worked on IGY 50 years ago.)

More details on the IPY YSC web site. The mission of the YSC is to make sure youth is involved in all aspects of the International Polar Year.
