Youth are the leaders of today! Young people bring perspectives and experiences that are vital to social change and need the support and partnership of adult allies to fully realize their leadership power. In this fun and interactive session, we will also learn and explore the philosophy and framework of positive youth and adult partnerships, the Hart’s Ladder of Youth Participation, adultism and anecdotes, and strategies for building powerful youth and adult partnerships. This session is especially valuable for Teen Court programs, where youth take on real leadership roles and benefit from supportive, equitable relationships with adult mentors.
