Self-Advocacy with Positive Youth Development

Ever wondered why the adults you work with always talk about Positive Youth Development? In this session, we discuss what the Positive Youth Development (PYD) principles are, the history of its creation, why adults learn about this and “how to work with youth”, and how you can leverage this knowledge to advocate for yourself and your projects in the workplace. Perhaps more importantly, you’ll also learn why you deserve self-advocacy and why it truly does matter for you as a young person to exist in these professional workspaces.
