Lesson 1 - Eliminating Tokenism 8/26/22

Service Description

In this lesson, you’ll learn how to eliminate tokenism and to engage youth/young adults in active and authentic involvement. Without knowing it, we can unintentionally tokenize youth/young adults, and it happens more than you realize. In fact, the more we involve youth and young adults in events and activities, we exponentially increase the risk of tokenism. We’ll learn from Hart’s Ladder of Youth Participation best practice approaches to the various types and levels of authentic participation. You will be actively engaged in reviewing and reacting to real life youth-involved scenarios to practice your skills in understanding Hart’s Ladder. This lesson will deepen your ability to apply the best possible and most appropriate level of participation to your own youth-/young adult-involved councils, boards, panels, or committees. By the end of this lesson, you’ll be able to identify hidden tokenism, decoration, and manipulation and engage youth/young adults in active and effective levels of participation.
