Sustained, meaningful involvement is a key to engaging youth with purpose, power and belonging.
The Freechild Institute is building an international movement to build, increase, sustain and expand youth involvement throughout the activities, programs, organizations and communities they belong within.
We are doing this with a campaign focused on education, including social media, print materials, training and evaluation. Our international training team will travel to your community or conference to help build this movement.
