Youth Participation

Youth Participation is about young people growing up and developing the skills and attitudes they need, both now and in the future.Young people need to feel positive and comfortable with their own identity, and to believe they have choices about their future.Meaningful involvement helps young people develop ways for increasing their control over what happens to them and around them.Youth participation means actively involving young people in all areas of our society-the family, school, workplace, social groups and the wider community. Keepin it real-A resource for involving young people  (MYD, 2003)
