VT9to26 Coalition is it exciting new group of youth adult partners across the state dedicated to supporting Youth voice, and the new Youth Act. There is great excitement about this development coming directly out of the Coalition’s energy and the work with the Helsinki Youth Council and our Finnish colleagues.
If you would like to be involved in supporting the Youth Act, here are a few options:
- follow the link for more information! Dates for future meetings are below. All meetings at 10am-12pmat the Vermont Historical Society in Barre. Thanks, and hope to see you soon! Holly In a world in which young people are empowered, confident, and secure creators of positive change for themselves and their community’s we must be involved in the decisions and discussions that impact our future. This means we must have a spot at the table and a voice in the conversation; about education, the environment, gun safety the list goes on and on.
Every year voices for Vermont's children hosts a policy and advocacy conference for anyone interested in improving the lives of children and youth throughout the state. The event focuses on focus on housing, education, economic security, and child protection; there will be several breakout sessions and a keynote speech by Keith Catone on “Why reform is not enough: organizing for transformation“. From 2 to 4 during the second breakout session the youth council will be hosting a room for anyone who is interested to come and have an open discussion with us. I highly encourage anyone who is planning on intending to come and stop in for at least five minutes, because if you were advocating for the improvement of the lives of children and youth the most important thing you can do is talk to us. True positive change is achieved through involving the group who you are helping in the change process. It is also extremely important to realize that there is diversity within the community of youth in Vermont, and for change to be equitable all youth, must be represented not just a few. So take some time and come talk to us; we want you to work with us not for us. And if you haven’t already registered please do, here’s the link https://www.voicesforvtkids.org/2019conference |
