Youth - problem to be fixed or resource to be engaged?
ABCD and Youth
Youth need to be engaged. Somehow we left them behind. Before I began at the Medical Center I worked at a youth and family service agency and our motto was: programs designed, developed and driven by youth. Initially its more work to get the youth to the table and to have them believe that you really want to hear their voices, but once you do, they are very proactive, which is what you want from the next generation. It's really US who feel we need to get in the way.
