SUMMARY:Centering Youth Voice in Adult-Centric Spaces
DESCRIPTION:Young people have the insight\, passion\, and lived experience to lead meaningful change—yet too often their voices are excluded from decisions that directly affect their lives. In this dynamic Thought Leader session\, we’ll explore what it truly means to center youth voice in traditionally adult-centric spaces such as school boards\, policymaking\, nonprofit leadership\, and community planning. \nJoin us as we unpack the challenges and opportunities of shared leadership with youth. Through powerful examples and practical strategies\, participants will learn how to authentically engage young people as equal partners in decision-making\, shift adult mindsets and structures to make space for youth leadership\, and create environments where intergenerational collaboration thrives. \nWhether you’re an educator\, nonprofit professional\, policy leader\, or advocate\, this session will offer fresh insights and actionable tools for transforming your space into one that uplifts and centers the voices of young people. \nRegister
