Global Young People's Convocation

The Global Young People's Convocation and Legislative Assembly is July 21-26, 2010. GYPC brings young people together from all over the world to connect, share and grow so they may help to transform the world. During the convocation, the Legislative Assembly allows for one hundred and forty-four young people and adults to prepare a direction for moving proposals forward to the 2012 General Conference of The United Methodist Church.

Each jurisdiction is allowed to bring 5 youth and 5 young adult voting delegates, 2 adult delegates and 22 non-voting delegates (divided between youth, young adult, and adult). Here you will find the most up-to-date listing of voting and non-voting delegates, by conference.
