Allow me to share with you an article I stumbled upon on LinkedIn! It's a powerful call to action for the youth development sector and anyone invested in working with and for young people. The piece resonated deeply with me as it addresses the urgent need for Meaningful Youth Engagement beyond mere rhetoric. 💡Gone are the days when youth engagement was just a checkbox for securing funding. It's about time we transcend outdated models and embrace transformative practices that genuinely impact young lives. This article brilliantly debunks 21 myths surrounding youth engagement – many of which I've personally encountered. 🚀As someone deeply engaged with adolescents and youth, I've realized the importance of internalizing this message. True change begins with radical honesty and a willingness to challenge the status quo. It's about fostering an environment where young voices are not just heard but valued. 🔗For anyone working with youth and for youth, I urge you to give this article a read – it's a game-changer! Shout out to Victor Mugambi Nyagah, DVM for delivering such insightful and thought-provoking content. 🙌🏽 Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/ghdyMarC #YouthDevelopment #MeaningfulEngagement #TransformativeChange #YouthEmpowerment #FutureLeadership #MYP #Challengingstatusquo

"Excited to be part of the movement towards youth empowerment! Today, more than ever, it's crucial to provide our young generation with the tools, resources, and support they need to shape their own futures.

As a youth empowerment strategist, I'm passionate about equipping the next generation to lead the charge in creating positive change. Too often, young people are sidelined or overlooked, their boundless energy and innovative ideas untapped. But the truth is, youth are the driving force behind real, lasting progress. Think about it - many of history's most transformative movements were led by young people unafraid to challenge the status quo. From the Civil Rights movement to the fight against climate change, youth have consistently been at the forefront, refusing to accept the world as it is and boldly shaping the world as it should be. It's your turn now. As the leaders of tomorrow, you have the power to tackle the biggest challenges facing our communities and our country. Your voices deserve to be heard. Your ideas deserve to be brought to life. That's why I'm committed to empowering youth like you to step up, speak out, and bring your visions for a better future into reality. Through mentorship, skills training, and platforms for advocacy, I'm dedicated to equipping the next generation of changemakers with the tools they need to enact real, systemic change. The time is now. To all the young changemakers out there: your ideas and actions matters! Start today, get involved, collaborate and make your voice count. Let's create a better future together 💪🌏 #YouthEmpowerment #ChangeStartsNow #FutureIsYours #FutureLeaders #ChangeMakers #TogetherWeRise _Youth Empowerment Strategist

International Youth Day, celebrated on August 12th, is a day to recognize the potential and contributions of young people across the globe. It's also a day to reflect on the challenges that youth face and to discuss how to address these challenges effectively. Asking thought-provoking questions can help young people, educators, and communities engage more deeply with the themes of this important day. On this International Youth Day, take a moment to ask yourself some important questions: - Community Impact: How are you contributing to your community? - Skill Development: What skills do you need for the future? - Global Challenges: How can you help address global issues? - Well-being: Are you taking care of your mental and physical health? - Inclusivity: How are you embracing diversity and inclusivity? - Legacy: What legacy do you want to leave behind? - Growth Mindset: Are you fostering a mindset focused on growth? - Learning from Elders: What can you learn from older generations? - Building Relationships: How can you strengthen relationships with peers? - Adaptability: Are you actively learning and adapting to change? Reflect on these questions to better understand your role in shaping a brighter future! #InternationalYouthDay #YouthEmpowerment #YouthVoices #FutureLeaders #YouthInAction #CommunityImpact #SkillDevelopment #MentalHealthMatters #DiversityAndInclusion #GrowthMindset #GlobalYouth #YouthReflections #LegacyBuilding #AdaptToChange #YouthInspiration #YouthPower

Did you know youth culture is a new concept? In the 1940's, a shift in youth's reality occured as a majority were in school instead of working or supporting their families at home. As they developed a unique culture of their own, youth created world-changing innovations and movements, but there were also some costs. There is an important history of youth culture and development that helps us as those who care about them. Youth matter; they are made to be changemakers and make a difference. Whether you're a young person's boss, a parent, or a member of a local church, young people impact your life, and you have a part in reaching and developing these young people.
