Making the Case for Authentic Youth Engagement

This toolkit was developed by Halton Youth Initiative.

HERE’S HOW THE CREATORS DESCRIBE THIS TOOLKIT:

The Halton Youth Initiative was a project of the Our Kids Network, serving the Ontario communities of North Oakville, Acton, Aldershot, and Milton.

The Halton Youth Initiative illustrated that when you intentionally build and support youth-focused initiatives, communities can exceed outreach goals, provide safe in-person and virtual spaces to gather, and maximize the positive impact on issues that matter to young people.

This online toolkit includes:

• a Practice Brief, examining the project outcome, listing specific actions, and providing reflection questions for further investigation;
• an Infographic, detailing developmental relationships and how they supported authentic youth engagement;
• Tip Sheets, outlining various aspects of making the case for authentic youth engagement;
• a Video Playlist, including a collection of videos that cover everything from a roundtable with the local MPP, meaningfully giving youth a voice, maximizing positive impact, creating safe spaces, and more;
• a Presentation, providing an overview of the Halton Youth Initiative evaluation story, illustrating  survey results with quotes from participants.

This is one of several online resource toolkits developed by Halton Youth Initiative.
