Including All Voices highlights promising strategies in youth engagement and youth-led change.

Addressing the intractable challenges that prevent young people from meeting their highest potential means more than just creating pathways for them to succeed. Successful youth engagement means bringing youth voices into the forefront, but how does that look, and what communities are doing it well? Our report, Including All Voices: Achieving Opportunity Youth Collaboration Success Through Youth and Adult Engagement, looks at local collaborative approaches to youth engagement that recognize youth and young adults as agents in their own growth and development and enlists them as partners in designing solutions to issues that impact them. The publication also highlights promising strategies in youth engagement and youth-led change and suggestions on how to expand these efforts so that youth are continually driving local and national policies.
