Creating space for young people to grow
Why guidance, participation and opportunities to learn can help young people navigate their next steps.

Young people thrive when they are able to participate, ask questions and imagine different possibilities for their future.
Encouragement, mentorship and access to practical learning experiences can contribute to confidence and connection. These are not substitutes for listening to young people themselves.
Making participation meaningful
Support should account for age, safety, accessibility and the perspectives of families and communities. Approaches that respect the individual are more likely to be useful.
