This has included opposition to the Foetal Personhood Bill (Zoe's Law) in New South Wales in 2014 and the dredging of the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland in 2015.

The group also has an active social media presence, with its Facebook page having over 114,000 likes as of June 2024, more than the federal youth wings of both the major Labor and Liberal parties.

The coordinating group of the Young Greens is primarily responsible for facilitating interaction between the different state and territory branches and organising national youth campaigns.

The Young Greens are governed by its Terms of Reference, first ratified in 2011 and significantly updated in 2013 to adopt an organised office bearer structure for the branch.

This has included groups in Greater Western Sydney, the Northern Rivers region in New South Wales, and the Gold and Sunshine Coasts in Queensland.
