This webinar is the third in a series on the foundational concepts of youth engagement.
WEBINAR OVERVIEW
Learning youth engagement concepts is helpful, but how can adult partners apply them in community settings? Through this session, CYAN will provide tools, ideas, and even model practices that create safe and welcoming spaces. Participants will learn how to use community agreements, community circles, and decision-making processes to navigate conflict and nurture healthy group dynamics.
WEBINAR SERIES DETAILS
Youth have the ability and right to be a part of the decisions that impact their life, yet young people are not always welcome within decision-making spaces or processes. As adult coordinators, allies, and partners, it is crucial to create and advocate for environments where youth can express their agency without systematic barriers.
In collaboration with TCCC (Tribal Community Coordinating Center) and the LGBTQ Center OC, CYAN (California Youth Advocacy Network) has developed a webinar series to discuss foundational concepts of youth engagement, restorative and social justice practices, as well as youth-centered spaces – which can all help to nurture authentic youth-adult partnerships. Come and join an informative series and be a part of the movement to expand youth voice and action.
