True youth engagement is challenging. You don’t have to do it alone.

What I do: increase your individual and organizational capacity and know-how to help you achieve sustainable youth-adult partnership at your own pace.

Who can benefit: youth-serving organizations or businesses, foundations, schools and school districts, government bodies or agencies, and any other group whose decisions affect youth.

I will collaborate with you to achieve your goals through a customized set of activities.

Examples of how I work:

Training for adults and youth establish common goals, language and practices and prepare adults and youth to share in decision-making.

Strategic planning and technical assistance walks your organization step-by-step through developing or strengthening youth engagement structures and culture while continually assessing and adjusting to ensure you achieve your goals.

Peer learning groups among peer organizations and leaders provides opportunities for shared learning, peer support overcoming challenges, and opportunities to demonstrate success.

Get Started Profile provides a true picture of your organization’s youth engagement now and gives you a path forward.

Youth-led summits or workshops at conferences introduce youth engagement to your organization and sow seeds toward future youth-adult partnership.

Facilitated decision-making pilots demonstrate the benefits and challenges of authentic youth engagement, provide a supportive environment in which youth and adults prepare to lead, and inform a customized set of language, practices and policies for your organization.

Drafting or amending bylaws, authorizing legislation and other governance documents secure the structure for shared decision-making into the future.
