Youth as Experts:
Participatory Practice & Power-Sharing
I work with youth and community-serving organizations to design participatory processes where young people are treated as experts in their own lives - not symbolic participants.
Drawing on over a decade of experience in youth work, children’s rights, and community engagement, I help organizations move beyond tokenism toward participation that is ethical, effective, and sustainable for both youth and staff.
