YouthScape's Practitioner Guidebook
Changing the Landscape: Involving Youth in Social Change is finally here!
This key document shares the knowledge and lessons learned from YouthScape through case studies, stories, activities, real life situations and practical recommendations.
It is a unique resourse for any individual or organization interested in involving youth in social change!
Although YouthScape is no longer an actively funded project, its participants have been busy expanding their scopes of work and producing key materials related to youth engagement and social change!
"YouthScape is living on in concept and practice, not in name," says a Thunder Bay YouthScape partner in an update on their community engagement.
"We are continuing to work with an adult and youth steering committee to develop a youth strategy in Thunder Bay and the Youth Action Council that formed during YouthScape is worked with the youth and adult Steering Committee to host a 1.5 day community youth forum during youth week earlier this year.
The United Way of Thunder Bay used our past success in engaging youth in developing our first "Youth Granting Committee" that allocated $14,000 in United Way funds raised within the high school in Thunder Bay. The funds raised are going towards youth programs and services that have youth leadership roles in their development and implementation.
We still have contact with many of the youth who participated in the YouthScape project and while some have moved on to new initiatives, they all look back fondly on their time with YouthScape.
All in all Thunder Bay is keeping the essence of YouthScape alive and well!"
