Exploring the impact of youth involvement in decision-making, suggesting a shift in perceptions of youth.
True youth-adult partnerships exist when the contributions of young people are seen as having value in the present, and not as practice for adulthood. Such a partnership acknowledges that decision-making roles can be shared by young people and adults. Often, subscribing to and practicing such a philosophy will mean significant shifts must be made in our beliefs and assumptions about youth in general.
