The Freechild Institute supports youth engagement in government services. Our services include program planning, professional development, coaching services, project evaluation and more. We have also created a number of resources that may be valuable to government agencies.

• Youth Engagement Mapping—This self-guided process can examine current and potential youth engagement by identifying data, processes and other avenues.
• Citywide Youth Engagement Strategies—Working alongside city-level agencies, Freechild Institute assists with developing citywide youth engagement strategies.
• Youth and Government—This resource page identifies current practices to foster youth engagement in governance and shares potential ways to expand on those activities.
• Understanding Roles for Youth in Community Development—This short reflection explores opportunities for youth in community development, along with concerns about what is happening, and possibilities for what could happen.
• Strategic Youth Mainstreaming—Freechild has adapted this European approach to youth engagement that focuses on popularizing youth engagement to the broadest extent by removing barriers and more.
