# Reformed Political Party Youth

The Reformed Political Party Youth (Dutch: Staatkundig Gereformeerde Partij-jongeren), officially abbreviated as SGPJ or SGP-jongeren, is the youth wing of the Dutch Reformed Political Party, an orthodox Calvinist political party.

In 1987, women were allowed to become members and in 2007 a woman was elected for the first time to the board.
