Join us for the next RAISE webinar
Enhance Authentic and Meaningful Youth Engagement: Using the Y-VAL
In this webinar, Youth MOVE National will cover the value of youth and young adult participation in advising and decision making at the organizational level, and how the need for a defined set of best practices, and an assessment of the extent to which these are in place, led to the development of the Youth/Young Adult Voice at the Agency Level (Y-VAL) Assessment and Technical Assistance tools.
Presenters will review the eight themes explored in the Y-VAL tool, and explain how these themes can provide a framework for key indicators of meaningful and successful Youth/Young Adult engagement. Examples and take home strategies will be reviewed in each theme.
Presenters:
Brie Masselli
Youth Program Director at Youth MOVE National
Alice Topaloff
Operations Coordinator at Youth MOVE National
