Youth Voice - Methods Workshop, Seattle
Friday May 18, 2012 9:30 AM - 11:30 AM
Are you providing young people with authentic, meaningful choices throughout your program? Does your program reflect the input of the youth involved? Research shows that quality programs incorporate youth input at both activity and organizational levels. This workshop will emphasize the importance of offering real choices and meaningful participation to youth, and nurturing youth leadership. This interactive workshop is focused on providing meaningful choice within activities and opportunities for youth input within the youth program itself.
This workshop, part of the Youth Work Methods series, was designed by the David P. Weikart Center for Youth Program Quality to empower direct-staff with tools that will increase the quality of their work with youth

NAME CHANGE: The name of this workshop has changed from "Voice and Choice" to "Youth Voice" partly because of a new emphasis on leadership. The main difference for Youth Voice is a clarification of the method, with three foci of input, choice, and shared leadership.
