How Do We Build Meaningful Youth-Adult Partnerships?

At the Forum, attendees made up of students, educators and senior leaders were invited to share their inputs and experiences on what it means to build a future where young voices are valued in decision-making.
Fill up a pledge card on one personal action to take to support the goal.
Voting on the most resonating sentiments produced from 2023’s Young People’s Voice Roundtable
Leaving suggestions on how we can foster better partnerships
Overall, young people seek an equitable partnership with adults, built on mutual respect, trust, and active listening.
This would look like:
  • The partnership feels equal, not dominated by one side.

  • Both parties attentively listen to each other’s ideas and concerns.

  • Adults and youths value each other's opinions without judgment

  • A supportive environment where everyone’s voice is heard and valued

  • Adults show confidence in young people’s abilities and contributions
