It is great for young people between the ages of 8 and 18, and is a great opportunity for youth to share their ideas on the issues of respect, self esteem, trust, honesty, violence and power just to name a few!

Youth Engagement Model
This booklet illustrates the Centre of Excellence's Youth Engagement framework, which is continuously growing and evolving as we learn more about the full picture of youth engagement. The conceptual framework of youth engagement can be used to inform development, documentation, and evaluation of programs and initiatives.
PNSM
This booklet deconstructs the story of Project Not-So-Much (PNSM) as an on-the-grounds example of youth engagement. PNSM engages young men that are negative leaders in their communities to build their positive leadership skills and become mentors to their peers. The young men have focused on issues related to preventing crime and violence, and have reached out to over 1000 young people in Toronto in weekly discussion groups and workshops related to various issues.
What is Youth Engagement
What is Youth Engagement? The benefits of meaningfully involving youth include reduced negative risk behaviours such as lower substance use, decreased rates of school drop-out, and lower rates of depression. Check out this simple and easy-to-use booklet to find out the basics about youth engagement.
Youth Taking Risks
What happens when a young person and a brain scientist sit down to chat about risk-taking and adolescent brain development? That's what we wanted to find out. This booklet looks at a study of the relationship between brain chemicals (particularly dopamine) and risk-taking in youth. It contributes to our understanding of pressures that influence youth and of how brain development is related to behaviour.
Exploring Youth Engagement Poster
The Students Commission asked 78 youth-serving organizations "What is Youth Engagement?" in a survey that included 32 questions on a whole range of topics. This poster, developed buy a youth-adult team, brings the survey findings to life. Now we're bringing what we learned to you as a fully bilingual wall poster.
Let Discussion Guide Us
Where do we go in Canada to get the ideas of children and youth about decision that affect them? Currently there is no place nationally where children and youth can represent themselves and inform decision-makers. Use this "let DISCUSSION GUIDE us" booklet to host a discussion group at your school, organization or community group for youth, adults or both. Invite members of the community, volunteers, board members and young people to come and discuss young decision making and what something like this could look like and send in the results.
