My services focus on examining existing structures, processes, and belief systems within organizations. Based on this analysis, I support teams in redesigning roles, practices, and decision-making processes to promote self-confidence, well-being, and civic engagement among children and young people.
I support organizations in designing and strengthening youth participation structures that are ethical, effective, and sustainable. This work is tailored to each context and may include:
• Audits of existing youth participation practices
• Program and process redesign
• Youth advisory board development
• Support for staff navigating power, boundaries, and change
I design and facilitate practical trainings for adults working with young people, grounded in children’s rights and participatory practice, with a focus on everyday professional settings.
• Adults as Allies: Youth Participation Starts with Us Getting Out of the Way
• Flipping the Script: Sharing Power Without Losing Structure
• Fun as Resistance: How We Can Create Space for Joy Regardless of Setting
Sessions can be delivered as 90-minute workshops, half-day trainings, or full-day formats.
I speak at conferences, universities, and public events on youth participation, power, and rights-based practice. I also host and moderate participatory panels and dialogues designed to actively engage audiences.
