Youth Voice Playbook
Youth Voice Playbook
The Youth Voice Playbook is a free resource collaboratively produced by three organizations: the Center for Digital Thriving, Hopelab, and Character Lab. We created it because we want to help build a future where all young people can thrive – and to make that happen, we know young people’s voices need to be heard, their experiences understood, and their ideas elevated. We also know that a lot of people who share this core belief aren’t sure where to start or how to meaningfully build youth advisory into their work. If you’re one of them, consider this Playbook your all-in-one guide to everything from planning and recruitment to our favorite activities for exploring young people’s perspectives and then making sense of what you’ve learned. The Playbook shares usable resources, honest insights, and real stories. It’s designed to help, and packed with information that we wish someone had shared with us as we all started engaging youth in our own workstreams.
