As organizations increasingly recognize the importance of youth voice in public health, education, and community development, many are asking: how can we start a youth advisory board?

This training will discuss the infrastructure, mindset, and long-term commitment required to authentically engage youth in decision-making, avoiding common pitfalls like tokenism, underinvestment, and lack of power-sharing.
