From Pathways to Resilience, November 2023
Projections estimate the United States will be home to approximately 100 million young people under age 24 during the next decade. Engaging youth in policy development and program design is an opportunity to equip young people with skills and learning experiences. It is also a critical element of developing effective, responsive, and equitable programs and policies with the help of youth’s insights, observations, and innovations.
Join Pathways to Resilience for a conversation about youth engagement with Mayda Berrios of In Her Shoes, LLC, Lauren Leonardis of Mother and Changemaker Consulting and the Technical Assistance Collaborative, and Tim Woody of the New Jersey Office of Resilience, all of whom have personally and professionally engaged in youth-driven initiatives. We will discuss strategies, successes, challenges, and opportunities for state and organizational leaders to meaningfully and intentionally engage young people in their communities.
