Welcome to the Public Affairs department! We are YCP's connection with York city and beyond. If you are passionate about controversial topics or current events and love to debate, then you will enjoy public affairs! This department primarily informs publics of awesome events and disconcerting issues in York and surrounding areas (however, we also work with organizations and departments on campus).

As a student/volunteer you will work on sweet projects. Your objectives include learning and developing proper writing, interviewing, debating, recording and editing skills. Our objective as the Public Affairs Department is to establish positive relationships and connections in York city and York College while having a good time.
