About

This resource is a guide on how to work well with young people through authentic engagement. The Casey Foundation suggests four key parts: youth-adult partnerships, preparation, opportunity, and support. Engaging young people helps them build self-esteem and leadership skills while giving them a bigger role in their community. Examples include working together on plans or training sessions. It also highlights the importance of understanding adolescent brain development and trauma's impact for effective engagement. The guide provides resources for building strong partnerships between adults and youth to help both grow and learn together.
