Authentic Youth Engagement in Policy Framework
11 months ago 11 months agoThis toolkit was developed by Child Trends.
HERE’S HOW THE AUTHORS DESCRIBE THIS TOOLKIT:
Through the Authentic Youth Engagement in Policy Project, Child Trends and the project’s Research Group, composed of youth and adult representatives, tested and refined existing models of youth engagement in the policy process, resulting in the Authentic Youth Engagement in Policy Framework (“the Framework”).
The Framework is grounded in the research of Samantha Holquist and Julie Petrokubi, informed by the expertise of the project’s Research Group, and refined through a qualitative study profiling five organizations that engage youth in their policy efforts.
The Framework is organized around a series of questions detailing the following:
- How are youth involved?
- At what stages are youth engaged?
- How do organizations empower and support youth?
- What local factors help or hinder authentic youth engagement?
- What outcomes are achieved through authentic youth engagement?
