Meaningfully Engaging Young People: Principles, Strategies, and Success Stories
September 18, 2024, 12:00–1:00 pm ET

This webinar will inspire participants with real-world success stories and equip them with principles and strategies for engaging youth and young adults authentically and meaningfully. Participants will also be introduced to strategies that aim to help assess their organization’s readiness for meaningful and authentic youth and young adult engagement. 

Presenters include a diverse panel of experts who will share real-world approaches along with concrete examples demonstrating how they have advanced authentic engagement of youth and young adults throughout their work. Join the session to hear directly from two young professionals with several years of experience as youth advocates, community organizers, and policy analysts. Adults with significant experience authentically engaging youth and young adults in a range of contexts will round out the panel and offer encouragement and advice for engaging young people.

After the webinar, participants will be able to:

• Describe principles of meaningful, authentic youth and young adult engagement.
• Identify at least one strategy to assess their organization's readiness for meaningful engagement of young people.
• Identify at least one action their organization can undertake to improve their engagement of youth and young adults.
