Co-presented with members of Seattle’s Youth Commission, this session will lead participants on how to civically engage youth through planning development processes. Utilizing Harts' Ladder of Youth Participation, program and policy leads will learn how to create a framework that integrates youth through critical steps of their planning and development processes. The operational goal of the workshop is to teach participants how to "ASK" Awareness, Structure, and Knowledge. "A" = Awareness, often times adults are not aware of the youth groups they have access to nor have they full awareness of how their practices are exclusionary of youth voice, implicit or explicit. "S" = Structures, knowing where to start concerning youth engagement and participation. Finally, "K" = Knowledge examining how participants plan to apply the knowledge to create frameworks to apply in their next planning process.
