YOUTH ON BOARD

Mission/Purpose: Youth on Board helps young people and adults think differently about each other so that they can work together to change society.  Youth on Board envisions a world where young people are fully respected and treated as valued and active members of their families, communities, and society.

Programs/Activities:

·   We put young people at the center of everything we do, and help them develop the skills they need to take charge of their lives.

·   We focus on building mutually respectful relationships by helping people listen to and understand each other.

·   We work with clients over a period of months or years to ensure permanent, meaningful change.

·   We work with you to analyze and address the attitudinal and structural barriers to youth involvement.

·   We show you how to get young people involved at every stage of the process, from planning to implementation to assessment.

·   We are committed to supporting youth voice at every level of decision-making.

Participants: Teenagers.
