Ask Us, Not About Us: Centering Youth Voices in ENGOs through AisB’s Youth Friendly Recommendations

Organizer: Sustainability Network

In this 1-hour webinar, led by Sydney Penner and Erika De Torres, “Ask Us, Not About Us: Centering Youth Voices in ENGOs through AisB’s Youth Friendly Recommendations,” we’ll explore how environmental non-governmental organizations can move beyond tokenism to engage young people meaningfully. Drawing on Apathy is Boring’s Youth Friendly resources and experiences, we’ll introduce practical strategies to share power, co-create initiatives, and design programs and governance structures that are responsive to youth needs, experiences, and leadership. Participants will leave with an idea of how the 3 workshop sessions will go, along with a deeper look into “Leaf it to Us” organizational reviews. They will also be introduced to concrete tools, examples, and reflection questions to help assess how youth-friendly their organization truly is and identify next steps to embed youth voice at every level of their work.
