This guide from the Annie E. Casey Foundation in the United States explores authentic youth engagement, including how it benefits young people, why it works and what it looks like in real life. The guide outlines the approach of the Jim Casey Youth Opportunities Initiative, which works to ensure that young people — ages 14 to 26 in the United States who have spent at least one day in foster care after their 14th birthday — have the resources, relationships and opportunities to achieve well-being and success.
The guide reviews:
- The four components of authentic youth engagement.
- How to assess the four components of authentic youth engagement.
