youth and family engagement

Youth and family engagement involves actively involving young people and their families in decisions, programs, and activities that affect them. It means listening to their voices, encouraging participation, and ensuring their perspectives shape outcomes. This approach fosters stronger relationships, trust, and a sense of ownership, leading to more effective and responsive services. Engagement is about creating collaborative partnerships where youth and families feel valued, respected, and empowered to contribute to positive changes in their communities and systems.
