The Freechild Project defines Youth Voice as the active, distinct, and concentrated ways young people represent themselves throughout society.
The Freechild Project has been promoting Youth Voice in nonprofit organizations, schools, foundations and government agencies since it was founded in 2001. Working with a variety of partners across the country, Freechild has learned about Youth Voice from the 1000s of young people and adult allies in our workshops and critical conversations.
