Why Youth Participation?
.
Meaningful youth participation is about recognizing and nurturing the strengths, interests, and abilities of young people by providing them with real opportunities to become involved in decisions that affect them at individual and systemic levels. This kind of participation enhances youth health because it offers young people a chance to develop important decision-making and problem-solving skills, develop meaningful relationships, and bolster self-esteem.

These benefits are known to protect youth against risk-taking behaviors that can have a negative impact on both their short and long-term health.  Positive youth development like adults, young people grow and develop best when they are given opportunities to experience, understand, question, and influence. During adolescence, young people begin to define their self-worth in terms of their skills and their ability to influence their environment.

So for young people to make a healthy and effective transition to adulthood, they need opportunities to demonstrate that they are capable of being responsible, caring and participating members of society. Those things are what we try to impart to our members.

About our e-Groups (Thanks to Yahoogroups)
.
The VOTY e-list is not going to flood your in-box with
unwanted messages and you will not receive messages so
long that they will be published as an anthology.  Instead, this list is designed to provide clear, concise information that will benefit you in some fashion. 
meeting at Univoicesal
You will only receive messages from our staff, not from others seeking to share their message (or forwarded e-mails) with you. If you have something that you would like to share with the other subscribers on the list, and believe that it will be
of particular interest or relevance to them and their work, then please send the short message to <votynet@gmail.com> where someone will review it, edit it if necessary and include it in the following update, if appropriate.

This is not just our voice and experience, it's about your voice, too.  This is about our collective voice end empowering young people to find a voice of their own.  Your belief in the power and potential of youth is why you are on this list in the
first place.  We will not let you down.
