Powered by Youth Voice

Youth have powerful things to say about the experiences that will support their wellbeing and growth.  Our Powered by Youth Voice initiative Powered by Youth Voice centers youth voice and leadership to advance new directions for the afterschool field driven by a national youth survey, local youth planning teams, capacity-building, and youth convenings. As a network, we seek to identify, model, and share practices that give young people agency and engage them authentically in the design and leadership of programs, systems, and advocacy.
