Developing Sustainable Pipelines to Hire and Pay Youth
Honoring the lived experiences of young people and recognizing that they're the experts of their own lives also means recognizing that lived experience is just as if not more important than education/work experience. Hiring young people ensures that our collective work is equitable, meaningful, well-informed and successful. The work to end youth homelessness, like all movements for liberation, requires intergenerational movement and solidarity building. in this training, led by youth advocates and leaders, attendees will learn step-by-step guidance on building meaningful, sustainable relationships with young people, integration youth voice, advocacy and leadership into program ideation, development and evaluation, co-creating pipelines that support the steady hiring of young people with lived experiences to run programs and lead teams, as well as discussing best practices for equitable collaboration.
