The Power of Youth: A youth-led guide to engaging with voices of change

Youth in Canada and around the world are deeply impacted by the decisions and actions of leaders, yet their perspectives and solutions are too often disregarded or devalued.

A group of Plan International Canada Youth Champions have created a resource to inspire the inclusion of the youth voice in policy, daily life, and all levels of society.

This youth-generated resource was created to support decision makers in creating safe, equitable, and meaningful experiences for youth and in turn, recognize the benefits of including youth in those spaces.
