⚜️ YOUTH EMPOWERMENT ROUNDTABLES ⚜️
It is one thing for us to "talk the talk" about the change we want to see, and, we work actively to truly "walk the walk" 😎. One way we intend on doing this is by offering cost-free guided discussions for local providers who work with groups of young people on any & all topics pertaining to Youth Empowerment 🦾
We call these our "Roundtables", and consist of three types (tailored for providers, youth, and providers + youth audiences). Learn more below ⬇️
Youth Roundtable

Our Youth Roundtable is tailored for, you guessed it, youth, and emphasizes youth rights, ways to access help, and self-advocacy

As you probably noticed, each of our Menu items per audience connect to each other! That means they go hand-in-hand with each other, and can easily be adapted to serve both audiences at once!

📜 "YOUR RIGHTS, YOUR LIFE" 💪POCKET GUIDES
To be able to advocate for yourself, you need to be able to "have your footing" or know what your foundation is. That foundation is your rights, aka your power and what can not / should not be taken from you (many rights are based in law, but not all)
One thing our council realized pretty quickly is that the vast majority of young people do not know their rights, especially those that receive care by professionals who are paid to support (aka are apart of a youth-serving system). This is to no fault of youth, these rights are almost solely documented in actual law, and can be incredibly difficult to understand
A young person's rights vary from system to system, so we made pocket-sized guides on youth right for specific systems, so young people can start to learn their rights!
Our "Your Rights, Your Life" pocket guides are available digitally below by clicking the images, and also are available to order by young people, families, and providers (cost-free of course) ✨

(Ex: going to school, getting help with schooling, etc.)

(Ex: working with a Parole Officer / PO, going to "corrections", etc.)
Overviews the rights of young people in the Child Welfare system
(Ex: having a CPS / DHS caseworker, being in foster/resource care, etc.)
Overviews the rights of young people in the Healthcare system
(Ex: going to the doctor, having therapy, etc.)
