Youth as Experts:
Participatory Practice & Power-Sharing

I work with youth, and organizations who work with youth, to design participatory processes where young people are treated as experts in their own lives. Drawing on over a decade of experience in youth work, children’s rights, and community engagement, I work to make the places and spaces kids and teens exist in safer and more inclusive.
