F10 – Lift Every Voice: Effective Approaches to Support System-Impacted Youth Leaders on Advisory Boards
This workshop will share the journey of a county child welfare agency toward incorporating youth voices into its programs and policies, and the challenges, successes, and lessons learned along the way. The presenters will share why incorporating youth voice is important and the impact on youth as well as on child welfare practices and policies. They will present how the Foster Youth Advisory Board fits a child welfare agency’s goals and mission, including what the board has been able to accomplish. The presenters will share research-based, practical strategies for engaging youth from the areas of authentic co-design, positive youth development, and trauma-informed care. Attendees will learn concrete strategies and examples of how staff can support youth to voice their thoughts and convert them into action.
H1 – Learning to Thrive Together: Tools for Co-Learning and Co-Assessing Life Skills with Youth
This presentation will focus on providing a landscape analysis of all Independent Life Skill assessments that are currently being used nationally. We will provide insights on how these assessments are incorporating a diversity, equity, and inclusion lens and centering youth. We will then provide an in-depth explanation of the new Casey Life Skills assessment and how it was developed in partnership with youth and other stakeholders in the child welfare system. Examples will be shared of how this assessment can be implemented using a co-design framework to ensure that youth are fully engaged in the process. Lastly, we will provide strategies on youth participation and other 21st century learning strategies.
