The group and its related state and territory divisions are a recruiting platform for the party and are often involved in activism on various youth-related issues. It is officially regarded to be a working group of the Australian Greens. It is underpinned by the four Greens pillars of ecological sustainability, social justice, grassroots democracy, and peace and non-violence.
Notable members of the group have included Senator Jordon Steele-John and Stephen Bates, two of the youngest current members of the Australian Parliament. The Australian Young Greens is a member of the Asia-Pacific Young Greens and the Global Young Greens.
