"Youth Voice: Creating Opportunities For Youth To Be Heard"
Our survey results reveal that the majority of adolescents feel that no one listens to them and they are discounted in the decision making process. We entitled our after school youth leadership clubs program Youth Voice because we wanted to develop programs for youth with youth input that are led by youth. Research confirms that when adolescents feel significant, capable, and included they make healthier choices.
