Ready to take action on implementing youth engagement? There are certain factors you’ll want to consider.  While there’s no checklist or one size fits all approach for implementing youth engagement, there are many resources that can help you along the way. This toolkit brings together valuable evidence, tools, activities and templates that can help agencies embed a youth voice and create sustainable opportunities for youth engagement in agencies and communities.
